Control Balance
Equipment
Next, engage your core and lift your hips off the floor, bringing your legs over your head while keeping them straight and together.
Extend your arms straight up towards the ceiling as you balance your body weight on your upper back and shoulders.
Slowly lower one leg towards the mat while keeping the other leg over your head, then switch legs, maintaining control and balance throughout the movement.
Finally, lower both legs back over your head, roll your spine down to the mat one vertebra at a time, and return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Engage Your Core: The Control Balance is a core-intensive exercise. Therefore, it's crucial to engage your core muscles throughout the exercise. Not doing so can lead to back injuries. To engage your core, imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine. Control Your Movement: As the name suggests, control is a key aspect of the Control Balance. Avoid making sudden or jerky movements, which can lead to injuries. Instead, focus on making slow, controlled movements, which will help to improve your balance and stability. Don't Rush: It's not about how fast you can complete the exercise, but rather the quality of your movement. Take your time to perform each movement
