If you want to improve your balance for whatever sport you’re doing, watch this video as I show you some balance exercises for athletes…whether you’re serious or just a weekend athlete
Why Balance Is Important
Balance is essential for sports.
And my background is in martial arts and karate particularly. So I’ve always been concerned about balance. And being able to move particularly on one leg.
So a lot of these exercises are lower body balance exercises. You’re going to be on one leg and trying to challenge your stability.
Because that’s how most athletic movements work.
