Three balance exercises. Two minutes. No gym, no class, no equipment, just a kitchen counter and a chair. π‘
1οΈβ£ Heel raises. Both hands on the counter. Rise up onto the balls of your feet, pause at the top, lower down with control. Three to start, build to ten. Your ankles do the quiet work every time you step off a kerb, and almost nobody trains them β
2οΈβ£ Stand on one leg. Hand near the counter, close enough to catch yourself but not resting on it. Lift, hold, lower. Three times, then swap side π¦Ά
3οΈβ£ Stand up without your hands. Arms crossed over your chest, feet flat, sturdy chair behind you. Stand all the way up, sit all the way down. Three times. This is the one that decides the most, get out of a chair without pushing off your knees and you can get out of the car, up off the floor, and off the sofa when nobody's home. πͺ
Do them where you already stand and you'll never have to remember them. While the coffee brews. While you brush your teeth. That's the whole trick. β±οΈ
Save this one and pick the one you'll actually do tomorrow. π
