Seated side to side weight shift. Sit up tall in a chair. Lift your arms up to the sides
or place them on your hips or thighs. Shift your weight to one side, move your shoulders
in the direction you want to go. You'll feel your weight shift over one hip. Hold for a
few seconds then shift your weight to the starting position and to the other side by
moving your shoulders in the other direction. Repeat this movement from side to side. To
make this exercise more difficulty perform with your eyes closed or gradually increase
to one side how far you lean. Be aware that balance is not always equal on both sides.
You may be able to lean farther to one side than the other. Continue to breathe and engage
your abdominals.
