You can improve your balance by doing exercises that keep your feet moving, as well as ones that engage your lower body and your core. Heel raises. Standing on both feet with weight evenly distributed, lift up on the balls of your feet and hold for a few seconds, then lower down. That’s one rep. Do 3 sets of 10 reps. Walking backward or sideways. Make sure to clear any obstacles out of your way. If this exercise is challenging for you, it can help to hold on to a wall and go slowly. Go for at least 10 steps at a time, then repeat 3-4 times. Tightrope walk. Walk in a straight line, heel to toe, as though you are balancing on a tightrope. Go for at least 10 steps at a time, then repeat 3-4 times. Standing up with control from a sitting position. Start by sitting in your chair with your back straight and legs uncrossed. Engage your core, glute, and thigh muscles as you slowly lift yourself to a standing position, without pushing off of the chair for momentum. Repeat 10 times. Single-leg balance. Standing on both feet with weight evenly distributed, lift one leg behind you, bending at the knee, and hold for 30 seconds or longer. Repeat on other side. You can repeat this whole exercise 10 times. Marching in place. Engage your core muscles and lift your knees as high as you feel comfortable. You don’t need to break a sweat, but keep up a steady pace as you march. Try to go for 2 minutes, and repeat the exercise 3-4 times throughout the day.
