Balance Exercise #5


TIPTOES
Stand with feet up to hip-width apart. Lift heels off the floor and put weight on the balls of your feet. Tighten your abdominal and maintain your balance while up on your toes, look to your right and back to the center, look left and back to the center. Move your head slowly. Find a point in front of you as a reference point and look at it whenever you return to center.
Keep your abdominal tight throughout the exercise to maintain stability at your core. To make this easier, stay flat-footed on the ground instead of rising to tiptoes. To challenge yourself, stand on an exercise mat or other soft surface or try closing your eyes. Repeat two or five times.
