Start with your feet together. Take a step forward, placing the heel of one foot directly in front of the toes of the other foot. Continue walking in this heel-to-toe pattern for 20 steps.
Standing leg swings improve dynamic balance, flexibility, and coordination in the lower body. They target the hip flexors, hamstrings, and glutes while also engaging the core muscles for stability.
These three simple moves will not only improve your balance and coordination, but they'll help strengthen some of those major muscle groups. 1. Pistol Squats (3 sets of 10 reps per each side)

Balance in biomechanics, is an ability to maintain the line of gravity (vertical line from centre of mass) of a body within the base of support with minimal postural sway. [1] Sway is the horizontal movement of the centre of gravity even when a person is standing still.
The Berg Balance Scale is used by clinical exercise physiologists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists to determine the functional mobility of an individual. This test can be administered prior to treatment for elderly individuals and patients with a history of but not limited to stroke, [1] Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Ataxia, vertigo, cardiovascular disease and ...
Standing for long periods can change the distribution of blood in the extremities. This in turn causes the blood to pool and reduces the circulating blood plasma volume leading to hemodynamic changes that impact the body. The authors reported that long periods of standing at work were significantly associated with atherosclerotic progression.

Problems with balance can occur when there is a disruption in any of the vestibular, visual, or proprioceptive systems. Abnormalities in balance function may indicate a wide range of pathologies from causes like inner ear disorders, low blood pressure, brain tumors, and brain injury including stroke. [citation needed]
