8. Stay-n-Alive

In this video Cindy is demonstrating the "Stay-n-Alive" exercise.  This is a general exercise for balance, coordination, strengthening and general movement of the arms and legs.  This exercise will be done in standing.

Breaking it Down

Arms

  • Start in standing with back of the right thumb touching the front of the left hip bone
  • Move the right arm up over head and to the right, rotating your thumb backwards

Legs

  • Step with the left leg out to the side and back in

Putting it all together - combine opposite arm and leg movements for an increased challenge of coordination and balance

  • Start in standing with back of the right thumb touching the front of the left hip bone
  • Move the right arm up over head and to the right, rotating your thumb backwards as you step out with the left leg
  • Bring the right arm back down to the left hip, rotating the thumb forward, as you step back in with the left leg
  • Repeat with opposite arm and leg

Perform 5 reps on each side

Use a chair as needed for balance
