Improve your balance

November 13, 2007
2. Triceps Extension and Calf Raise: This exercise works your triceps, calves and seriously challenges balance and coordination.

Hold the tube in your hands as shown in the illustration. Stand with your feet hip distance apart and tummy muscles tight. Make sure your back does not arch. Perform the triceps extension and calf raise simultaneously.

Lift the top hand, till the arm is straight up towards the ceiling, pulling at the tube. Gently lower. At the same time, come up on your toes, lifting your heels as high as possible, squeezing your calves and gently lower.

Try not to touch your feet to the floor as you come down. 16 reps, rest and repeat with the other arm.
