For improving balance, it’s important to practice a wide variety of balance practices and this sequence offers you three different movements focusing on your feet. The good news is that it’s never too late to improve your sense of balance. Balancing practices are also beneficial to your posture and coordination and that helps to avoid injury.
The key to lasting success is to find ways of integrating these practices into your daily routine, so you could try brushing your teeth whilst lifting all of your toes off the floor or training yourself to balance on one leg with your eyes half-closed (with something to hold on to nearby). They’re are simple to do and could make a big difference.
Before you start make sure that you have a clear space with no tripping hazards. If you are really struggling with your balance and experience regular dizziness you should consider talking to your doctor.
