Now, if you're experiencing stiffness and weakness in your muscles and joints, peripheral neuropathy will sometimes leave you feeling this way. But don't worry, the balance training will help you. Not only it does build strength, but it also reduces the feelings of tightness and prevents the falls, which is very important. Let's get started with some beginner-friendly balance training exercises. Now, first up, we have leg and calf raises. To the side leg rise, you will need a chair or a counter to steady your balance with one hand. Stand up straight with your feet slightly apart. Now slowly lift one leg to the side and hold it for 5 to 10 seconds. Lower your leg back down at the same pace. Repeat this exercise with the other leg. As you progress and improve your balance, challenge yourself by doing this exercise without holding onto the counter. Remember, you need to take it at your own pace and enjoy the benefits of improved balance and training of this strength training through these exercises. Now, next, we're going to perform some calf rises. It's a great exercise to strengthen and tone your calf muscles. And to get started, you need to find a chair or counter to help you maintain your balance. You're going to stand with your feet hip-width apart and lift your heels off the ground rising onto your toes. Hold this position for a moment and then slowly lower yourself back down. Repeat this movement for 10 to 15 reps, feeling the burn in your calves with each repetition. Remember to breathe and focus on engaging your calf muscles without the exercise. Next, we will do some stretching. Now here's some exercises to boost flexibility and reduce the injury risk. Stretching exercises are crucial. It's a crucial component of any fitness routine as they not only increase your flexibility but also warm up your body for other physical activities. By incorporating routine stretching into your workout regimen, you can significantly minimize the chances of sustaining injuries while exercising. So let's explore two common stretching techniques that can help you achieve these benefits. Number one, it's going to be a calf stretch. So you're going to begin by placing one leg behind you, ensuring that your toe is pointing forward. Take a step forward with the opposite foot and slightly bend the knee. Now lean forward with the front leg while keeping the heel of your back leg firmly planted on the floor. Hold this stretch for about 15 seconds. If you're feeling the tension in your calf muscles, then that means you're doing it right. Repeat this sequence three times per leg for optimal results. Next is seated hamstring stretch. You need to find a comfortable spot on the edge of a chair and sit down. Extend one leg in front of you, pointing your toe upward. Bend the opposite knee, placing your foot flat on the floor, and gradually position your chest over your straight leg and straighten your back until you start feeling a gentle stretch in your hamstrings. You need to maintain this position for approximately 15 to 20 seconds, allowing the muscle to relax and loosen. Repeat this sequence three times per leg to ensure the same level of engagement for both sides of your body. By incorporating these stretching exercises into your routine and following these step-by-step instructions, I believe you all can boost your flexibility, warm up effectively, and minimize the risk of injury during your workouts.
