Tips to Improve Your Balance

Balance is a vital life skill for anybody. It’s not just older people that can lose their balance. Anybody can lose this skill if they don’t remain active.

So, how can you maintain and improve your balance? Loss of balance is caused by a deterioration in strength and loss of motor skills.  Here are some top tips and different exercises that you can try.

• Stand on one leg for 10 seconds
• Stand on both legs and sway slightly from side to side
• Jump from leg to the other
• Practice bodyweight squats to improve your lower body strength. Progress onto single leg bench squats if you feel confident enough
