About this listen
This episode explores how the simple act of tossing and catching a soft ball significantly improves balance. It highlights that balance is a complex system involving the eyes, brain, ears, and muscles, all of which are engaged during this activity. It emphasizes that this seemingly playful exercise provides functional movement training, helping with everyday skills like reaching and reacting quickly, and strengthening the vestibular system, located in the inner ear, which is crucial for spatial orientation and preventing dizziness. Ultimately, it advocates for incorporating gentle tossing and catching into daily routines as an easy, safe, and effective way to enhance stability, coordination, and confidence, fitting into their "30 for 30 Challenge" for daily, short exercises.
