What are some examples of balance exercises and progressions?

Balance exercises can be as simple as standing on one foot (or even keeping a few toes down on the free leg for support). This can be done independently, or once you are more stable, you can add in additional movements such as a biceps curl, overhead press, or a small one legged squat. Some examples of progression include:

• Level 1: performing a single leg balance to reaching movements
• Level 2: performing squats or deadlifts on a single leg, or performing lunges that step into a single leg balance.
• Level 3: performing hopping exercises landing on one leg and balancing.
