Balance is something we can improve with practice and it’s especially important as we age. Working on your core strength and stability through unilateral exercises that work one side of your body independently trains your body to remain upright when it’s being pulled off-center, which can improve how you perform everyday tasks and reduce your fall risk.
Unilateral moves that target your pelvic floor, deep abdominals and diaphragm are also particularly helpful because they support your posture, which is intrinsically linked to balance, and these exercises can be done standing.
