Balance Hobbies

Our balance is essential and can be improved with practice. Hobbies can be a great medium for improving our balance, and having fun with it.

Balance refers to an individual’s ability to maintain their line of gravity within their Base of support (BOS).

In its most basic form, balance is an essential daily skill. In its advanced form, balance is a source of enjoyment.

While balance is known to be an issue with older adults, it is not a uniform skill in young adults either – some of us may have better- or worse balance.

Luckily, balance can be improved with practice.

While there are balance-focused exercises, a hobby might be a better medium for practicing and improving our balance.

Dedicated balance exercises can be tedious. They can also be hard for our self-esteem as someone who needs to practice their balance.

Hobbies, on the other hand, can be more engaging and interesting, and have a positive influence on our self-esteem, rather than a negative one. While the practice can be similar, saying that we are practicing tai-chi, might feel better than saying that we are practicing our balance.

Of course, we may already have a good balance. Hobbies can be a great opportunity for improving our balance further and having fun with it.
