Each month, a new trainer takes us through four of the best workouts they have in their back pocket. Follow along weekly for new ways to sweat it out with us.Balance can be like the canary in the coal mine of overall health.
So when you do a workout for balance, you're working to strengthen both your body and mind. Generally, repetition can build, including those responsible for coordinating balance. So expect a workout for balance to involve doing the same wobble-inducing moves multiple times.. “Your core entails the central part of your body, including your pelvis, lower back, hips, and stomach.
Lauder-Dykes also points out that one side of our bodies may be more stable than the other, so in a workout for balance, expect moves that you do one side at a time to expose and improve on those weaknesses. His 20-minute kettlebell workout for balance will test and build your balance by taking you through multiple variations of exercises that build your core and stabilizer muscles. For example, a lateral lunge will ensure that you’re supporting your hips in 360 degrees, and adding a pulse will “help us to really work the inside muscle of the thigh and the outside muscle of the glute,” Lauder-Dykes says.
