Pin the Tail

Welcome everyone...BALANCE. Remember way back when 'pin the tail on the donkey' was popular. Spin you around and pin the tail is back. First, start with feet together and raise one foot w/your eyes closed. Hold for count of 10. Change feet. 3 sets. If needed, stand near wall or chair. Next, close eyes and turn slowly in one direction and then reverse. You are not in a hurry when doing this drill. 5 sets. Next, holding a soccer ball and move your arms back and forth 10 times. 3 sets. No donkey, no tail. In my summer camps, boys and girls, ages 8-18, only 2 out of 10 could do these. When at home watching TV or at your desk sit on an exercise ball at least 75cm or larger. Also, on your knees and hands on ball... do 10-20 pushups. 5 sets. After just 3-5 sessions you will notice significant increase in your balance in all your activities. You will gain strength and endurance. You will also stimulate brain function. Caution...if you have inner ear problems, have someone with you when doing the "eyes closed" series. Jimmy O
