Everyone from 9 to 90 can benefit from BALANCE training!
What are you doing when you are walking or running? That's right - essentially BALANCING on one leg!
So everyday find a time to simply stand on one leg 30 seconds or more- waiting for the train, the microwave, brushing your teeth)
You can progress it by doing it with your eyes closed but safety first!
By doing this you train your CORE , your inner stabilizing muscles, because they must be tight and engaged in order to remain stable.
Next try a Single Leg Squat ( link to video) to really engage those glutes and a greater balance challenge.

Be sure to take note of your more "wobbly" side- we all have one . Once you discover this- always start on that side when doing balance exercises!
Be consistent with this you'll reap the benefits for a lifetime!
