One very simple yet powerful exercise to improve your balance!

Improving Balance: yes/yes no/no from Taylor Kruse on Vimeo.

 

A seemingly simple but powerful exercise for improving balance! 

  1. Find a safe but challenging position. You should be working hard but not falling over.
  2. Use your thumb or a pen as your target and make sure it's centered in front of you.
  3. Make small yes/yes no/no head motions while keeping your eyes fixated on your target.


Try 6 Reps of each and progress or regress your stance accordingly.

Safety Cues: 

If you have serious balance issues already you can try it seated. If exercise ever creates symptoms of vertigo, lightheadedness, headaches or any other strange response, this is not for you!

Otherwise, give it a go.

Hope you enjoy!
