Action Point 1 – Seraphine Seat

Balance – Stability

Standing balance

1. Start in a light stepping position
2. Shift your weight onto your front leg, making sure that your knee is slightly bent
3. Tighten your stomach and buttocks and straighten your spine
4. Move your upper body slightly forward and always keep your head in line with your spine
5. Raise your arms sideways to shoulder height, take your shoulders back and pull your shoulder blades downwards
6. Tense your whole body, lift your back leg off the floor, and straighten it - your upper body and leg always remain in one line
7. Hold the standing balance for as long as you can until you can do 3 x 30 seconds
8. The more you lean forward, the more strenuous it becomes
