Balance exercises
About balance (from NASM):
The ability to maintain postural control or balance is a fundamental component of performance, injury resistance, and rehabilitation that follows an injury. The limits of stability mean the area within which an individual can move one’s center of gravity without changing the base of support (i.e., moving the feet) without falling.
