Balance (5)

Welcome everyone...balance requires technique, posture, discipline. 1) standing next to chair or other fixed object, feet about 3/4 inches apart, rise up on toes, 10 X. 2) close one eye and same drill. 3) same drill w/both eyes closed. 4) on balls of feet, both eyes closed turn full circle on way and then the opposite way, 3x. 5) place a book on top of your head, no holding the book, walk forward 10 yds., then backwards 5 yds. 3x. 6) when ever you can walk around in your stocking feet. Shoes are restrictive. This drill will allow your feet get  "to normal." 7) when sitting, have a tennis or soccer ball close by and place under one foot at  time and rotate in 4 directions...slowly. Will stimulate the nerve endings. Great relaxer. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com
