Three Keys to Successful Balance Training

If you are getting started with balance training exercises, there are really three things you need to make sure you're doing:

1. Variety - Don't do the same exercise the same way every day.  You need to present your sense of balance with a variety of challenges.

2. Progression - Your exercises need to get harder as time goes by if you want to see continued improvement.  There are many ways to make balance training more difficult.

3. Consistency - In order to see real results, you need to do the exercises regularly, a minimum of 4 times per week.  Every day would be ideal. 

If you want more guidance, check out The Balance Manual.  It will show you a variety of balance exercises and teach you how to progress the difficulty as you get better at them.  It also includes an exercise log where you can keep track of what exercises you do and how often you do them.
