Balance Exercise #3

Side Leg Raise
Stand next to a sturdy surface like a chair.If you need to use your fingertips to balance, do so. Raise one leg off the floor to the side, and hold it 6 to 12 inches off the floor, then lower it. Do not bend forward at the waist (engage your core). Repeat 10 to 15 times per leg. Make this more difficult by removing your fingertips from the chair(if you are using it) and even more difficult by closing your eyes.
