Try Balance Exercises Before Your Vacation

    To make the most out of swinging in a hammock, riding a zipline or whatever your holiday excursion entails, try starting balance exercises before you go to be safe and happy.  An example of a basic equilibrium exercise that you can rehearse is to stand on one foot and center your weight in the middle of your arch. You will notice that with this stability exercise your feet and ankles will be madly moving, trying to keep you upright by adjusting to your ever shifting body weight. This exercise will build strength and speed in your feet and ankle balance reactions. Having fast and strong balance reactions is essential for good stability and for reducing the possibility of a fall and an injury from a fall. you can practice this specific balance exercise and certain stability strategies by following along with an expert Physical therapist who describes all this pertinent information in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
