WELLNESS ACTIVITY: A Balancing Act
Choose a focal point, stand firm in your left leg and lift the right leg to a height that you’re comfortable with (hovering the lifted foot just above the floor is a great way to get started finding your balance. You can hold on to a wall or counter at first, but the goal here is to balance on one leg without holding on to anything).
Count to 20 while taking slow deep breaths.
Switch legs and count to 20 while taking slow, deep breaths. Notice the differences from one side to the other.
*This balancing activity is especially beneficial for mature people as balance issues are a cause of most falls resulting in broken bones. It’s okay if it takes a while to let go of a support. This can be practiced multiple times a day.
