Fitness and longevity expert Stephanie Mellinger shares her favorite exercises for improving your balance at home.
This is one of my favorite exercises because it targets the stabilizing muscles in your ankles, knees and hips. It also strengthens your glutes and core, which is key for improving balance.Shift all your weight to your right leg and keep a soft bend in your right knee as you hinge at your hips. Your upper body will come forward as your left leg lifts behind you.Stand with your shoulders back and your navel pulled in toward your spine. Keep your upper back and core engaged.
Slowly sit down on the chair, doing your best to avoid a"plop" into the seat. Your left leg should hover just above the ground when you're sitting, and your right foot should be on the floor.Do eight to 10 reps on your right leg, then repeat on your left.Poor balance is often related to a lack of core strength, and planks are an effective way to improve that.With your body facing the ground, hold your body up while on your forearms and your toes.
Imagine a clock drawn on the floor, with you standing in the middle: 12 o'clock is directly in front of your body. Returning your foot to the center each time, tap your left foot to 10 o'clock, then 9 o'clock, then 8 o'clock.Repeat these taps for a total of six rounds.5. Lateral step-ups
