Balance Exercises For safe Travels

    Performing balance exercises before you embark can lead to happy and safe adventures.  Traveling can be filled with challenges from walking on cobblestones to staying steady on swaying boats and trains. Consequently, it is imperative to maximize your balance abilities before hitting the adventure trail. One essential stability strategy involves centering your body weight in the middle of the base of support defined by your feet. Once you have your weight centered you can practice keeping your weight stabilized and controlled with every movement activity. You can start this steadiness exercise by standing with your feet shoulder width  a part and your body weight centered in the middle of your arches. Next, try shifting your body weight forwards into your toes and then backwards into your heels, slowly and with good control. Next, you can rehearse shifting your body weight from side to side, as if you are in a rocking boat. You can learn these balance strategies and a step by step progression of balance exercises developed by an experienced Physical Therapist by following along with the Exercise For Balance DVD.
