Heading to the pool? Swimming is great for your joints, but good balance helps you get in and out of the water safely.
Here are 5 balance-boosting exercises to do before your swim:
1. Single-Leg Stands – Stand on one leg for 30 seconds per side.
2. Heel-to-Toe Walks – Walk in a straight line, placing one foot directly in front of the other.
3. Toe Raises – Rise onto your toes and slowly lower back down.
4. Chair Squats – Squat down to a chair and stand back up without using your hands.
5. Side Steps – Step sideways 10 steps in each direction.
These simple moves improve stability and prevent slips.
