There are two types of balances – static balance and dynamic balance. Static balance is the kind where your body is to be in balance while the dynamic balance is the balance maintained while your body is in motion.

Talking about athletics, balancing exercises will help you train your body control. It also prevents joint pain, especially in the ankles.

Balance training will give you more energy because you learn to focus on the centre of gravity.

Here, we provide you with the top 5 Balance exercises that will make you a better athlete.

  1. Squats On Bosu

A Bosu ball would be required for this exercise. This exercise will benefit your body’s gripping power i.e. to hold together all the required muscles at the appropriate time.
