Balance Exercises

BOSU Kids!

Directions: Perform my Dynamic Warm-Up exercises at “beginning” of workout for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your body!

Balance Tips: Do not exceed your balance threshold. If you are falling out of the balance drills you have exceeded your threshold and are training a “bad” movement pattern. Only do what you can control. Note that balance training is fall prevention! Balance is directly related to “core” stability.  “Core” is the trunk area from waist to chest, front, sides, and back—all the way around. *For more information on core and balance, see my handout links below.
