How to improve balance

[@HybridCalisthenics]

3 ways to improve balance (in daily activity)! This is an interesting topic that results in different suggestions depending on who you ask. For example, some people may have issues with their cerebellum or mid-ear that affect their balance. That's not in my usual wheelhouse. However, from a fitness standpoint, I find 3 major things can help balance. 1.) Mobility 2.) Stability 3.) Awareness-bility (I wanted these to rhyme) Respectively, these will help you move in and out of comprised positions, maintain your current position, and have the practice and mind-body connection to utilize your mobility and stability. If that last one seems confusing, consider that there is a "skill" to almost every fitness practice we do. People get much better at push-ups, bench press, etc after they practice for a few days or weeks - even if pure strength and muscle haven't changed much yet! This is a similar concept. I also tried to find ways to improve balance that people don't have to dedicate the usual sets & reps to. Just things you may want to practice as you live your regular life! Have a wonderful day!

All right, but when you gonna drop that hair care routine?????????????

[@densedecisions4568]

I got you: 3.) Awareness, your surrounding's visibility

[@wrylife57]

@@HybridCalisthenics I also do most everything in flip-flops. Except for weightlifting. When I step to the bar I am barefoot. :)

Please introduce your kitty friend. Cats are masters of balance and strenghts

[@tehmuse1521]

Bless you 😺 I wasn't paying enough attention to see kitty. So I watched again thanks to your comment 😻

[@HybridCalisthenics]

He's not mine - he just showed up one day and expected me to feed him. I feed and pet him, but I make him work for it (by appearing in videos). I call him Mr Cat. Or sometimes Meowmie.

[@justwatching5188]

@@HybridCalisthenics Mr Cat choose you. Cats are great judges of character and he owns you now.

How nice of the mystery kitty to share their video with Hampton.

[@aliceg5327]

This is what I'm currently doing in PT after having ligaments reattached in one ankle. Realizing the differences after the immobilization was eye opening.

[@KobaMr]

The best DIO pose I've ever seen at the end of the video.

[@rachel7397]

I love how you make things fun and simple, I feel way more motivated to move and exercise when I don't feel like I have to do regimented specific exercises repeatedly, you have such a great attitude ❤

[@ExoticBalIs]

This guy got me out of bed after whining like a little man about my muscular pain to realise that it's actually gone. Thanks, bro, keep going!

[@ixizn]

The kitten high five 🐾🐈👏

[@AbigailPoirier]

What I'm hearing is that my daily routine of carrying awkward/heavy (sometimes both) objects up and down steep, uneven terrain is good for my balance. Yay! It's also good for my glutes and legs, haha.

[@atriyakoller136]

For me stairs didn't help. But that's also probably because I paired them with working too much, having too little sleep and too bad a diet all after a few times with COVID. Maaaaybe they'll help me though. I just gotta be extra careful when walking up and down the stairs, because uneven terrain is a no go for me these days (I really have to check my ankles after too many injuries)

[@AbigailPoirier]

@@atriyakoller136 Ah. I have stairs, too, but was thinking more of the hills I walk up & down as I'm setting up temporary paddocks for our sheep. I can see how having all those adverse factors you mentioned would make it super hard for anyone to keep balance!

[@atriyakoller136]

@@AbigailPoirier yeah, especially considering the fact that I've had terrible coordination since I was very little. Hills are okay, but I gotta train more to walk faster. And small bumps on the ground seem to be my worst enemy

[@vivixion]

There will always come a time when one inevitably JoJo poses in life, thank you for preparing us, Hampton!!!

[@tehmuse1521]

Knocked over by strong winds 😂 I get knocked over by turning my head too quickly

[@domithepotato]

I think you’re the first (maybe second) person i’ve found that actually explains beginner beginner exercises, even though i’m pretty young i’ve been embarrassed about not being able to do push-ups, sit-ups/crunches, squats even (they hurt my knees until i figured out how to do them right), and when i saw i think your short about not having to do sit ups to train your core my face was just :O and i acc felt motivated to try and not be lazy, since I also got so tired of just laying around this summer, this is just a very run-on thank you! You also have vert good vibes!

[@kristiLB93]

You are a superhero. And You did all of that in flip flops too!

[@HongKongeseAmerican]

I've been ice skating for about 4-5 years, and I've never even thought of this, and it took me much longer to get better at balance 😭

[@yang_yin]

Oh god, Hampton, sometimes i can't figure out how you do your whole day for to have body so skilled. There's no enough hours and energy in a day, but you make it possible 😆. I mean, to me it's like a lot of work, having explosive strength, resistant strength, isometric strength, speed, stamina, balance, and almost in every exercise I can imagine, every angle, i watch you and your body have a very good response... and you don't even look like making a big effort 😅!! I think you have the perfect way of life dude, really healthy and balanced.

[@nemure]

You totally must upload the cut scenes of this video. I bet was hilarious 😂

[@DrunkenerWitcher]

[@1Indig0]

I started recently and my work life has improved drastically

[@cisium1184]

This stuff becomes all the more important as you get older. My Dad died two months ago after a series of falls that were caused by his inability to stabilize himself when he even slightly lost balance. I tried to convince him to work on it but he just wouldn't. He had never got into the habit of exercising and he wasn't interested in making the effort at that point.

[@sansotandrea4063]

This guy doing all of this in flip flops makes it even more impressive

[@Tired_Night_Owl_in_the_Woods]

Speed walking with a quite loaded backpack on daily basis actually improved my stability. Irealised it when I slipped caring a big package to a post office and my upper body did not even moved much to return to balance😅 maybe barefoot shoes I wear for a year now also contributed to it🤔
