This is a standing practice where we use the help of the chair for support to practice different balancing exercises. Maintaining balance is crucial especially as we start to get older as it helps in preventing falls, injury, and simply making your daily activities easier to perform. Avoiding falls not only helps you avoid physical damage but it also boosts your confidence, even if you're young. When your balance system is working optimally, you can quickly react to slips, making it less likely that you'll fall.

Balance basically means being able to stay upright and steady, whether you're still or moving and these exercises will help you increase joint stability, improve body and spatial awareness. Balance can be improved at any age and at any starting level. The key is repetition and practice.
