Lie-Down Routine Boosts Balance in Just 2 Weeks
A Japanese study found that 10 minutes of daily floor exercises performed while lying on the back can markedly improve static balance, agility, and flexibility in healthy young adults over two weeks, due to neural coordination improvements rather than muscle strength. The routine includes abdominal activation, a modified bridge, and heel slides/toe movements, is low-risk, can be done at home with no equipment, and has practical implications for fall prevention and rehabilitation.
