Balance Clock / Toe Taps / Reaches
How to Do Balance Clock / Toe Taps / Reaches
-
Stand tall in the center of an imaginary clock face with your feet hip-width apart. Shift your weight onto one leg, keeping a slight bend in your standing knee to support your balance (reach your arms out to your sides if it helps with your balance!)
-
Lift your opposite foot just above the ground. Engage your core and prepare to reach out with this foot in different directions
-
Extend your raised food towards the end of each ‘digit’, lightly tapping the ground at each position while keeping your balance
-
After each tap, return your foot to the center starting position. Maintain control and repeat the sequence for the designated number of repetitions or time
