BALANCE: ADVANCED VERSION

When you can balance easily on each leg for several minutes at a time, you can make the exercise more demanding in several ways.

1. Keep your arms raised sideways or above your head as you balance.

2. Do arm exercises, moving your arms up and down, backwards and forwards, as you balance.

3. Throw a ball against a wall and catch it as you balance.

4. Do the exercise with your eyes closed.

5. Balance on a wobble board or rocker board.

6. Use a BOSU (pictured), to practise balancing on one leg, or for doing exercises like knee bends on 2 legs.
