Core Exercise For Stability And Balance

Hi, I'm Bill from Beyond Fitness Online, and today I'm going to show you one of my favorite core exercises that also really strengthens the arms and upregulates your vestibular system in a way that will really challenge your balance. So I call this exercise the plate drag, and exercises have a lot of different names. You may have seen this before and called it something different, but the The key to this exercise is making sure that we're doing the appropriate eye and head movements as well. So what we're going to do is we're going to start off by getting into a push-up position. You're going to need a small weight, and we're going to be pulling that weight from left side to right side. The key here is making sure that you're keeping your eyes stuck right on the weight and moving your head along with it. So as the weight goes here, you're right, as you're pulling it here, you're going left and right. So I'm going to show you that exercise right here. To begin this exercise, get into a push-up position with a wide base with your feet. Have the weight begin outside of one of your hands. Reach across your body and grab it with the other hand. You're going to alternate back and forth as you see here. The key is keeping your eyes and your nose looking at one spot on that weight the entire time so that you're getting good head motion. I hope you found that exercise helpful. If you have any questions, leave them below in the comments. And also, you can check out my website at beyondfitnessonline.com and fill out the vestibular questionnaire to see how important it is for you to be working on your vestibular system while you're doing your other exercises.
