| | | | | | | | Pillow Stands | Pillow stands present a unique challenge by reducing the sensory input from your feet, which normally helps maintain your balance. This means your body has to rely on other systems to keep you balanced.
Step 1: Place a pillow at least 4 inches thick on the floor next to a stable surface, such as a chair or countertop.
Step 2: Step onto the pillow with both feet, keeping them parallel. To increase stability, place your feet further apart; for a more challenging activity, place them side by side.
Step 3: Cross your arms and place your hands on your shoulders. Try to stand in this position for 30 seconds. If this isn’t challenging enough, move your feet closer together or use a thicker pillow.
Step 4: As your balance improves, you can make this exercise more challenging by leaning away from your base of support. While leaning, try to draw shapes with your upper body, such as a plus sign, square, or circle.
Step 5: Do this for 30 seconds to complete one repetition; aim to complete five repetitions. Adjust the sets and repetitions as needed to provide the optimal challenge for your body.
Are you up for a challenge? Close your eyes. By reducing the sensory input from your feet and your eyes, you transfer the task of maintaining your balance to your semicircular canals. This is a crucial balance mechanism, so it’s beneficial to keep it tuned up. Be sure to stand next to something stable, as you may lose your balance, especially if your feet are close together. | | Explore More Fitness |
