The ability to balance is a body function that is often underestimated, and it works every day. This means that, whether in daily life, at work or in training, we constantly lose the balance that we must find again. In addition to work and leisure, a good balance is also a prerequisite for many sports, such as tennis, skiing, dancing or gymnastics. Whoever has a clear sense of balance can steadily improve his performance.

7 exercises with balance board

Balance board exercise: #1-single leg posture

Now, your balance requirements are higher: a single leg looks very simple, but it still exists in itself. This requires coordination and your attention, but your leg muscles will also be stressed. Try it!

Instruction/Training #1: First, you place one of your legs in the middle of the balance board until you find a good standing posture. Then stretch your other leg laterally and try to maintain balance in this position. If you still stretch your arms, balance will be easier. But you can also put them on the hips.

Hold this position for about 10-15 seconds, then slowly descend and rise with the other leg.

Tip: Stretch both legs as much as possible. Increase the difficulty level: You can easily increase the difficulty of the exercise by closing your eyes.

Training Goal: Strengthen the leg muscles. Setting and repetition plan: hold each leg for about 10-15 seconds / 3-4 repetitions

Balance Board Exercise: #2-Squat

Squat is also a popular classic in balance training, used to strengthen leg muscles. If you have mastered squatting on the floor without any problems, you must use a balance board to create a new incentive for your muscles. In addition to your leg muscles, many other muscle groups are now needed to maintain body balance.

Coaching/Training #2: The most important part of squatting is the correct starting position. To do this, you place your own width approximately on the balance board and try to adopt a safe posture. The weight is on the heel, the two toes point forward, and the view is forward.

Now follow the squat (squat in English): your hips face high heels until your thighs are roughly parallel to the ground (as if you are sitting on a chair). Then you turn from the power of high heels back to the starting position.

Important: Make sure that your knees do not protrude from your toes.

Training Objective: Strengthen leg muscles Repetition plan: 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions

Balance Board Exercise: #3-Lunge

Absolutely must be in every sport: sprint. The special thing about the balance board version is that you step from a stable position on an unstable surface and then sprint.

Instructions/training #3: In the starting position, you stand on the balance board at a distance of about 60-90 cm from the hip width. Your eyes move forward. The upper body is always straight. Keep in mind that finding the correct distance to the balance board can be a bit tricky at the beginning, as it is personal. Take it easy.

Now follow the actual movement: take a step forward. With just one leg, you need to take a big step forward until your foot is in the middle of the balance board. Find the balance point by loading the entire foot. Then bend your front legs and place your hips on the floor until the back of your legs is almost parallel to the ground. The front legs are at a 90° angle! You can put your arms on your hips or help on the side for extra balance. From the strength of the leg muscles, you straighten again, return to the starting position, and change the leg. This is a duplication.

Note: Don't let the front knee stick out your toes (knee pain!).

Training goal: strengthen the leg and buttocks muscles

Repetition: Perform approximately 10-12 repetitions of 2-3 sets on each leg.

Balance board exercise: #4-Push-ups

Push Up' is a true classic, and because of its excellent effect, it can be used for various sports. Those who are not yet familiar with push-ups in other sports areas should first adapt to exercise by doing push-ups without the help of a balance board. Pain is guaranteed!

Instruction/Training #4: You are in a push-up position at the beginning. To do this, place the shoulder width of your hands on the balance board, and the balance board on your chest. Fingertips facing outward. You raise your knees until your body lines up. Your whole body is tense.

Perform push-ups from this position. In addition, you bend the arm of the elbow to bring the sternum closer to the plate. Keep your elbows as close as possible to your ribs and don't push your elbows outward. Then, using the strength of your arm and chest muscles, slowly move back to the push-up position and repeat the exercise.

Tip: If the exercise is too heavy for you, of course you can also exercise on your knees.

Training Objective: Strengthen the muscles of the chest, shoulders and arms. Repetition: about 8-12 repetitions of 2-3 sets

Instruction/Training #7: You place your forearms on the balance board. Keep your elbows under your shoulders and keep your shoulders low. The view points to the ground in front of you. From the kneeling position, you raise your knees until your entire body forms a straight line. Your torso is extremely tense, and your belly button retracts. Try to keep this position-this is the art of'planing'!

Increase the level of difficulty: Those who do not have enough (and have improved) can also reduce their weight. The correct basic practice technique is a prerequisite for increase!

Training goals: Mainly strengthen the trunk and shoulder muscles, activate other muscle groups. Repeat the program: When you have no restrictions. A good goal is to hold the position for 30 seconds and then continue to increase the time (60-90 seconds).
