Marching in Place: Balance Training
Balance training for MS is particularly important. When you march in place, you'll challenge your balance by shifting your weight from side to side.
-Stand with your feet hip-width apart, abdominal muscles firm. If needed, use a counter or chair to steady yourself.
-Slowly bend your right knee, raising your right foot off the floor, and bring your leg to a marching position. Your thigh should be about parallel to the floor.
-Pause for three seconds and then slowly lower the leg.
-Repeat with your left leg.
-Continue until you've completed five repetitions, then switch to your right leg.
-Work up to 10 to 15 repetitions with each leg.
* Like any exercise program, please consult your healthcare professional before you begin. Please stop immediately if any of the exercises cause pain or harm to your body.
