Try to work your way up to holding for 30 seconds on each side.
Try not to drop your hips as you walk.
Shoot for 5 cross-steps on each side. If you need it, you can place your fingers against a wall to help with stability.
As you get better at it, try moving away from the wall.
Closing your eyes can make this more challenging. Make sure you’re standing next to a wall in case you lose your balance and need to catch yourself.
Start with a relatively light weight. Somewhere in the 5–10 lb (2. 3–4. 5 kg) range should be good. You can work your way up to heavier weights over time. Aim for about 30 seconds on each side. If you want to make it even more challenging, try balancing on the opposite leg as the weight. For instance, you could hold the dumbbell in your left hand and raise your left leg so you’re balancing on your right leg.
Shoot for 3 sets of 10 reps, and rest for 1 minute between each set.
Try working your way up to 2 minutes at a time. You could buy your own wobble board to practice balancing on it at home.
Working with an instructor in a group class can help make sure you’re doing the techniques properly.
You don’t have to do ballet! You can try other styles of dance, like hip-hop or salsa.
