Train with dynamic stretching and balance

The exercises below include dynamic stretching and balance. They will help to stabilize the pelvis and tone the abdominal core. They can also be used to heal sacroiliac joint dysfunction by relieving tension in the hips, improving circulation, and relaxing the nerves.

Dynamic balance occurs when the body maintains a center of gravity while in motion. A dynamic balance can be as ordinary as walking across a room. It can also be as extraordinary as walking across a tightrope.

Dynamic stretching occurs when strength guides flexibility through motion. A dynamic stretch leverages the forces of body weight with muscular action to stretch muscles through varying degrees of range of motion.
