Balance Exercises From The 1924 Winter Olympics

Balance Exercises 1924 Style

By Suzanne Stoke, Physical Therapist @ Exercise For Balance via www.exerciseforbalance.com

   Practicing balance exercises has been a good idea for athletes of all eras, including those from the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France. The picture depicts the British bobsled team, who placed second and won the silver medal. I am impressed that they even were able to stay on board that rickety looking bobsled. Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now The only way they stayed on track was by having exceptional balance and probably very strong core muscles, not to mention a sense of adventure and the ability to block out all sense of fear. I love how the picture shows us the perfect team coordination with two team members leaning to the left and two members leaning to the right in order to maintain an upright balanced position. We can learn a lot from those athletes.

Balance Exercises Help Us To Stay Steady

    For athletes, senior citizens and just anyone who suffers with imbalance from a medical condition, a daily regime of balance exercises can help to improve steadiness with all movement activities. The first step in starting a stability program is to begin with static balance exercises. One such static exercise involves standing on one foot for about twenty to thirty seconds. When that equilibrium routine starts to get easier, you can progress to beginning dynamic balancing exercises. A good dynamic stability exercise involves standing on one foot while swing the other foot through like a lunging step and returning to the original position without losing your steadiness. You can learn specific stability techniques and a series of balance exercises by following the direction of a knowledgeable physical therapist in the exercise for balance DVD.
