10 Proprioception Exercises for Balance and Strength

Flamingo Stand

This helps to stabilize the body and maintain proper balance.

Steps: To begin, shift all body weight to the right foot, lift the left foot and extend the foot forward and stay in that position for about 10-15 seconds. Make it more difficult by stretching the hands towards the extended foot. Return to the starting position and then repeat the process 4 times and then switch to the other foot.

Sumo Squat to One Leg

This particular exercise acts as an effective muscle-building process. It is very good for the calves, lower back pain, glutes [6] and hips, and it also helps increase flexibility.

Steps: Stand with feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart until it gives a 45-degree angle. Make sure to keep the core tight. Keep the knees bent and raise your right leg, so that the inner thighs face forward. Do this process form 8-12 times and then switch to the other leg.
