Things You'll Need:
- Time to exercise.
- Loose fitting clothes.
- An open space to move around in.
- Steps to stand on.
-
Step 1
When you first start out you may feel your legs are weak when trying to accomplish these positions. If it gets too difficult take time to rest, otherwise make sure you start of with something nearby to hold onto light and sturdy yourself. Always do these exercises next to a wall, chair or table to have something to keep yourself stable.
-
Step 2
First exercise: Start by standing with your feet shoulder width apart(the neutral position). Slowly shift your weight to one side, while lifting the heel of your opposite foot, go as far as is comfortable to you and try to maintain as much control as possible. Then return to the neutral position and do the weight shifting to the other side and return to the neutral position. Repeat this each time trying to lift your foot off the ground a little higher than the time before.
-
Step 3
Ok next exercise: Begin by standing the neutral again, now you are going to lift your leg up, you can lift it up in front of you or to the side. Hold this position as long as you can and try to keep wobbling down. Repeat this and try to get better with less wobbling each time.
-
Step 4
The last exercise: Stand on a step that is about four inches high. Dangle a leg off the step and bend your other leg until your dangling leg is just above the floor. Hold that position for a few seconds and then return it to the step and repeat. Use higher steps for harder exercises.
-
Step 5
Now that you have those exercises down you can incorperate things like holding dumbbells to make shifting the weight harder or standing on uneven surfaces, wearing ankle weights and so on. You can also try to hold each position for a longer period of time. Try closing your eyes and holding the positions. It is a good idea to have someone around if you are going to make these exercises harder.
