Day 10: Balancing Act

Posted by AccountingWEB on Jan 17 2012 418 printer friendly

Improve your posture and strengthen your core with balancing exercises.

Version One

Step 1: Sit in your chair and place a report or a lightweight book on your head.

Step 2: See how long you can keep it from falling off.

Version Two

Step 1: Stand and face a wall with your feet about a foot from the wall and shoulder-width apart.

Step 2: Rest your hands lightly on the wall. (You can also use a countertop if you have one available.)

Step 3: Lift your right foot and knee up, so you look like a flamingo standing on one foot.

Step 4: Once you feel you have your balance, take your hands away from the wall and hold the position as long as you can.

Step 5: Repeat on the left foot.

Voice of the Editor
