We often hear the refrain of, “I need more balance in my life.” I need to balance my family

and my career. I need to eat a more balanced diet. My priorities need to be balanced. To

pull off the feat of any metaphorical balancing act is akin to walking a tightrope through

the awe and admiration we give to those who can pull it off. We think of having balan-

ce in our lives as a state of enlightenment, of nirvana to be reached. Once we find the

balance between disparate parts of our lives, peace and productivity are not far behind.

So how can we achieve a sense of balance not only in solitary feats, but as a constant

in our everyday lives?

we use those appendages to get from one place to

another and perform a variety of tasks.

In balancing, you must be aware of where your legs

and arms are in relation to each other as a basic

first step. Then you will begin to notice how the

position of your feet influences the position of your

quadriceps, how the position of your legs relates to

the action of your abdominal muscles, and so on

and so forth. In tandem with helping you tune into

habits of proprioception, a balance board has a

variety of health benefits. Learning to balance your

body properly can make many new activities and

skills accessible.

Physical Balance Practices

Increased Proprioception

OFTEN TIE INTO OTHER PARTS OF OUR LIVES

TRAINS ALL OF YOUR MUSCLES

The most tangible thing you can do to start the

journey to a better balanced you is in physical

practices. Taking time to focus only on bodily

sensations can point to tension, pain,

or stress that creates imbalance in our

daily lives. Taking up the practice of yoga

can be marvelously beneficial toward

achieving balance, and many yoga poses

can be practiced on a balance board for

added challenge.

One great yoga pose to try on your balance board is

chair pose, a squat where feet are a few inches apart,

tailbone is tucked, and arms are raised. Holding

this pose for a few breaths will strengthen your

When you work out on a balance board, get ready

to sweat. A balance board provides a challenging

workout with the unique benefit of training your

body’s sense of balance. You will learn to be aware of

your body in space and increase your proprioception.

Proprioception is defined by Mosby’s Medical,

Nursing, and Allied Health Dictionary as the sense of

the relative position of neighboring parts of the body

and strength of effort being employed in movement.

Think of it as a middle layer in the sandwich of how

we perceive our physical existence: between what’s

going on outside of our bodies and what we perceive

internally such as hunger or pain comes how our

body relates to itself as it stands, sits, or floats. But

what does this mean in terms of how we learn to

balance our entire physical bodies? We are often

very aware of the position of our legs and arms since

legs, glutes, and core. You can also do slow lunge

repetitions with either your front or back foot on

the board depending on the area you are targeting.

To target upper body strength in

your balance board workout, try any

variation of planking.

The truth is, every move you make

on a balance board will do its part

to increase core strength and

coordination. Training your balance

and coordination skills will increase both your

confidence and skill, making you a better athlete and

adding some balance to everything in your life.

You will never run out of things to do.
