Balance is the Key
Aim: Strengthen core muscles, and improve body balance and coordination.
Level: 2
Duration: 1-5 min
Wobbling for inner and outer stability.
Instructions:
- As a warm-up walk through the room on your toes, then on your heels, and then on the sides of your feet.
- Then, stand up firmly on both feet and extend your arms to keep better balance.
- Shift your body weight to the left foot, then the right one, but without taking any of them out of the ground, keep balancing on the sides, also forward and backwards, then in rounds, like a roly-poly toy (wobble doll). You may ask someone to assist you if you don't feel steady. A more advanced level is to do the same but standing on one foot.
While going to work or coming back from it try to walk on a curb or follow a straight line on the pavement while looking forward and keeping up a straight posture and balance.
Advice:
To help your spine at work you can try a height adjustable desk that has an option of working while standing. For that, you may choose to stand on a balance board, which is also widely used in physical therapy and rehabilitation.
