What could be better than exercising for fun? A fun set of exercises that will give you a great workout, each involving an active balance component. We often incorporate these types of exercises into the rehab gym because they resemble real-world movements that we perform every day.
One of the most telling aspects of functional tasks is that our attention to balance and mobility rests squarely behind our focus on whatever tasks we happen to be doing in the moment. Few of us can accurately recount the sum of our mobility throughout the course of our days—it’s just something we do. People with decreased strength, endurance, and balance tend to fall more—and almost always while they are either performing functional tasks or on their way to them.
