My Top 7 Exercises for Balance!

These exercises are outstanding at improving your balance. My rating of them as “The Top 7” is not scientific, just my opinion. 

I utilize them regularly in my own training and prescribe frequently for our members. 

But, before we dive into each, I want to reinforce that about 75-80% of your balance is built upon your core and lower body strength. If you are deficient in either, no amount of on-legged-ballerina-close-your-eyes-and-touch-your-nose stuff will make much difference. 

If you can’t comfortably squat or lunge to full depth and stand back up without having to hold onto something for support, then I suggest staying focused on doing good-ole Goblet Squats, Forward and Reverse Lunges, and Split Squats. 

OK, here we go…

1️⃣Single KB Reverse Lunge to Knee Strike

2️⃣One-leg Squat to Bench

3️⃣Single Leg Deadlift

4️⃣Disc Lunge

5️⃣High Step & Squeeze

6️⃣DB Lateral Step-down & Tap

7️⃣DB Blue Pad Calf Raises

There’s too much to cover with these exercises in this caption, so I put together a YouTube playlist that includes them, with demo videos and explanations.
