In this video, we do a beginner balance routine. This video is best for those who are getting started improving their balance and who have some difficulties with other balance exercises.
BETTER BALANCE - 5 MINUTES BALANCE EXERCISES (BEGINNER)
Have you ever felt disheartened when you've tried to do something and couldn't?
This is something I see frequently when it comes to exercise.
It's not uncommon for people to just give up when attempting exercises and find them too difficult. They resort to the fact they're not good enough (which isn't true) and then not continue. Especially when they are new to exercise.
But........ YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING WHATEVER IT IS! You just may not be there yet!
And that's ok!
What it takes is consistency and to keep moving forward. Don't give up!
Or.... you may need to take a few steps back by doing a less difficult variation of the exercise and then work your way through more challenging exercises until you can do it.
Which is what we do in today's exercise video. We're going to do some beginner balance exercises.
Click on the video below, to get moving with me!
If you're someone that has trouble with other balance exercises, you can start here and work your way through to more difficult exercises over time. Or, if you want something to get you exercising today, why not do this also!
Tomorrow we'll do intermediate balance exercises and the following day, advanced balance exercises.
