Balance exercises to prepare you for spring

As the weather warms we all come out of our shells and get out and enjoy spring.  If you have been less active over the winter months this can put you at greater risk for a fall.  Over the next 3 blogs I will show you lots of different balance exercises to make sure you go into the spring feeling stable and balanced.

1. Toy Solider

This exercise should be done near a wall for safety.  It challenges your balance as well as stretching the backs of your legs

2. Walk the Line

You can make this exercise more difficult by turning your head side to side when you do it and you can make it easier by taking wider steps.

3. Balance exercises

Strengthen your feet and calfs to help you improve your balance and stability.
