Test Your Balance Bounce on one foot, touch your nose, and sing the national anthem would be one way to test your balance but it’s not the only way. Each person has a different balance level and your balance is also affected by conditions you might have. Test Your Balance 2 We’re gonna start from our neck to our ankles and really focus on how your body is feeling throughout these exercises. You’ll need your trusty chair or balance buddy and then simply start off by looking to your left and just keep looking left for a couple of seconds. Return to the start position (looking forward) then slowly you’ll turn your gaze to the right and you should repeat this three to four times. Looking from left to right and holding the full turned position for a couple of seconds. Lying Exercises Before you begin—remember to breathe. Our bodies respond best when we have sufficient oxygen flowing through our veins. Your first task is to lie your legs straight on your bed. You can use a towel underneath your knee if you feel it might be more comfortable or if you can’t keep your knee straight. Bring one knee up into a bent position and the other straight along the bed then squeeze your quad (thigh muscle) and focus on pushing the back of your knee into the bed. Look at whether or not your kneecap has moved up and see your muscle bulk in your thigh. Hold it for five seconds—one mississippi, two mississippi, three mississippi, four mississippi, five mississippi, and relax. Take a deep breath and exhale. Then right back into the squeeze of the quadriceps and hold that power in your legs. Really tighten that core and take deep full breaths. Even while you’re lying down focusing on those posture muscles is important. ... Exercise Trois: Farmer’s Carry For this fun one, you’re going to need some soup cans or easy-to-hold and slightly heavy objects. Then grab an object for each hand and hold them nice and tight. Now assume the position and relax your shoulders and pull your shoulder blades together. Stretch that abdomen with a nice deep breath and feel the power in your body’s balance. Now take your first step and just keep walking with your hands squeezing the objects. Walk for thirty seconds then stop, pivot and walk back for another thirty seconds and then take a five second break. You can place the objects down or you could keep holding them. Then get going again and repeat this for five one-minute repetitions.

The depth of character development was astounding. I felt like I knew each person intimately, understanding their hopes, fears, and dreams. It made the story so much more meaningful.

The plot twists were executed masterfully. I was left gasping at every unexpected turn, and the suspense kept me on edge throughout. Bravo to the author for keeping me guessing.

This book is a work of art. The language, the imagery, the symbolism - everything came together beautifully to create a memorable reading experience.
