BALANCE WORKOUTS

What Are Balance Workouts?

Balance workouts are an integral part of a comprehensive fitness routine, focusing on enhancing stability, coordination, and proprioception. By improving your balance, you reduce the risk of falls and injuries, especially as you age. Additionally, balance training strengthens core muscles, enhances posture, and boosts overall body awareness. Incorporating balance workouts into your regular fitness plan ensures a more well-rounded physical conditioning, enabling you to move with confidence and precision in everyday activities and athletic pursuits.

There are two types of balance:

Static balance – involves maintaining a desired shape in a stationary position (e.g. handstand in gymnastics)

Dynamic balance – involves the control of the body as it moves in space.

Some examples of balance exercises include:
