Fast Fitness - Dynamic Partner Balance Challenge

Here is Friday Fast Fitness - fun challenge for body stabilization, strength, speed, and balance with a friend.
  1. Stand facing a partner
  2. Stand on one foot, pressing the other against your partner's raised foot.
  3. Push, pull, surprise your partner with unexpected movement change, all while remaining balanced. Change to push toe to toe and side to side.

Reader Bernie supplied this photo. His inspiring story will be posted in January. He registered for my back pain workshop two years ago, then skipped it to do surgery instead. His doctors told him that since his pain was from structural damage, that no exercise or repositioning would help. Bernie took my class two years later. Although much of the pain was from structural problems, several of which he didn't have until the surgery, we successfully fixed the worsened structural situation.

  1. I'm going to use some of your partner exercises as breaks for my students. They will get blood moving, muscles exercising and coordinating, and they will probably giggle. These will be a nice break from sitting so long.
