Pillow Stands
The exercise is a fun and effective way to improve balance, stability, and proprioception. It’s great for engaging the core and leg muscles, as the soft surface adds an extra challenge.

Step 1: Place a sturdy pillow or cushion on the floor in an open, clear space. Stand next to a wall or chair if you need extra support for balance.
Step 2: Step onto the pillow with both feet, positioning them hip-width apart. Stand tall, keeping your shoulders relaxed and arms by your sides.
Step 3: Slowly lift your right foot off the pillow, balancing on your left leg. Try to hold this position for 10–20 seconds.
Step 4: Lower your right foot back onto the pillow and repeat the movement with your left foot.
Step 5: Perform 2–3 sets of 8–12 repetitions per leg, gradually increasing the duration as your balance improves.

Tips for Success:
• Keep your knees slightly bent and your core engaged for stability.
• Start with a firmer pillow or cushion, and progress to softer ones for more difficulty.
• If you feel unsteady, lightly touch a wall or chair for support.

For an added challenge, close your eyes or try lifting your arms out to the sides!
