Busy Women’s Guide to Balance: 4 Simple Exercises That Work

Balancing a successful career while maintaining your health isn’t easy ladies, but it’s so important!

To help you stay strong and centered, I’ve selected four balance exercises that are perfect for improving your coordination.

They’re simple, effective, and can fit right into your busy routine:

1. Single-Leg Stand with Eyes Closed This one’s all about trust—trusting your body and your balance. Stand on one leg, close your eyes, and see how long you can hold it. Start with 10-15 seconds and build from there. It’s a great way to improve your focus too!

2. Heel-to-Toe Walk Think of this as your runway walk. Place one foot directly in front of the other, heel to toe, and walk in a straight line. It’s excellent for refining coordination and keeping those legs strong.

3. BOSU Ball Balance If you’re like me and love a good challenge, try standing on a​ BOSU ball.​ It’s a fun way to test your balance and core strength. Start with 30 seconds, and if you’re feeling confident, add in a few squats or arm movements.

4. Side Leg Raises with a Chair This is a great one for stability. Hold onto a chair for support, lift one leg to the side, and feel the burn in those hips. Do 10-15 reps on each side. It’s perfect for anyone who spends a lot of time sitting at a desk.

These exercises don’t take much time, but they can make a big difference in how you move and feel throughout your day.

I’d love to hear how you’re doing with these, so feel free to share your progress!

Focus Forward,
