[fitness] every time I try to do a split squat i am just a little teeter totter trying not to flop sideways and embarrass myself 😔
𝔥𝔲𝔫𝔱𝔯𝔢𝔰𝔰 🗡️
does anyone have recommendations to improve balance? should I just do more core exercises or what

put a line of masking tape on the floor 5 or 6 feet long and walk along it heel-to-toe a few times

calf raises might help, too, they'll strengthen your ankles
ᴡᴏʟғ.
do you have access to a bosu ball? that's what i use with my trainer. you just flip it on the wobbly side and do workouts on it
ᴡᴏʟғ.
you can control how easy/hard it is by how much its inflated

: I think I've seen one at the gym! what do you recommend... doing with it lmao

also today I did... Bulgarian split squats! for the first time! I didn't fall over!!! I was proud of myself

you can use the lines your garage, or seams in the cement

there are so many various Eastern European squats lmao. my people... they are good at squatting
ᴡᴏʟғ.
you actually just do regular exercises!! like curls and stuff. you just do it on the ball and it naturally works your balance/core
ᴡᴏʟғ.
just be careful bc if you're not used to it getting on and off you might fall haha. but if you have a wall it'll help you get on!!

ooh okay thank you! there's a big outdoor area I've been using at the gym and I'm like. 90% sure I've seen one of those floating around so I'll track it down and try not to eat shit HAHA
ᴡᴏʟғ.
it feels super wobbly at first but when you're used to its fun! and it helps a lot
ᴡᴏʟғ.
i have a bum ankle from spraining it badly twice and its been good for my balance

my balance is garbage, a lot of it does come from strength though
spacey witchmas
I am considering a bosu ball too
𝔥𝔲𝔫𝔱𝔯𝔢𝔰𝔰 🗡️
I suspect for the motions I'm trying to do my thighs just aren't strong enough yet either but I'm gonna try improving my balance too. I know a lot of it comes down to core strength too
𝔥𝔲𝔫𝔱𝔯𝔢𝔰𝔰 🗡️
my core is flan

thank you for your advice friends. I'll do my best!!
