297. The Step by Step Strategy to Improve Your Balance


Listen Later

We often spend a lot of time building our strength or improving our cardiovascular health - but what about our balance?

Balance is one of the 6 important aspects of fitness, but it’s often completely overlooked and not intentionally trained, until you realize how bad it is!

Crystal trains with me, and asks: “I started Jumpstart30 at the beginning of the year, then Jumpstart60, and now I’m in GetStrongX. Despite doing this for awhile now (and loving it, btw!) I’m still super wobbly with any kind of single leg deadlift. I can’t do any version of them without holding onto something to keep from falling over. Any tips on how I can improve my ability to do this exercise?”

In this shortie episode, I’ll break down the two types of balance and how to start improving them both. Then we’ll walk through those pesky single leg deadlifts, and I’ll show you how to stay balanced while performing them - and how those balance strategies translate to other exercises as well!

💥Taking listener questions!!! Do you have a question about your self-care that you need help with? Just head to www.vigeofit.com/ask to submit your question, and I’ll answer it for you on an upcoming Friday episode.
