​Balance

It is the ability to stay upright or stay in control of body movement.

Good balance in sport means you can move easier and with better control.

​

There are two types of balance:

Static balance is defined as balancing in one place without movement.

Dynamic balance is defined as balancing with movement such as walking or reaching forward.

​

​Ways to improve balance!

• ​Walking, biking, and climbing stairs strengthen muscles in your lower body, which can affect posture and balance.

• ​Stretching loosens tight muscles, which can affect posture and balance.

• ​Yoga strengthens and stretches tight muscles while challenging your static and dynamic balance skills.

​COORDINATION

​Coordination is the body's ability to perform smooth and efficient movements.

​

Good coordination requires a person to combine multiple movements into a single movement that is smooth and achieves the goal.

​Let's do a little challenge and check how coordinated you are!

​1. Hands on desk - palms up - palms down

​2. Pat cross single hand / double hands always change up and down

​3. Pat - cross together - clap

​4. Pat - clap - head

​5. Pat - clap - shoulder cross - head

​6. Hands together and raise fingers one by one

​Thank you and have a great day! :)
