penquin Member Registered: 03/31/08 Posts: 130 Loc: Kimberly, WI, USA	My son is complaining about losing his balance while stretching, but I think he is full of it. Just in case he isn't anyone have an idea how I can help him improve his balance while stretching. _________________________ being smarter then the average man, my mistakes tend to be worse then the average man

No kicks or punches, object is to just push each other down. _________________________ "In case you ever wondered what it's like to be knocked out, it's like waking up from a nightmare only to discover it wasn't a dream." -Forrest Griffin

BrianS Higher rank than you Professional Poster Registered: 11/04/05 Posts: 5959 Loc: Northwest Arkansas	If he is stretching with one leg up he needs to focus on something. Have him stare at a single spot while stretching, it's much easier to maintain your balance that way. _________________________ The2nd ammendment, it makes all the others possible. <///<

penquin Member Registered: 03/31/08 Posts: 130 Loc: Kimberly, WI, USA	actually he is doing a modified split where he has his legs twice shoulder width and he pushes out his knees. I can do it and I have my problem. _________________________ being smarter then the average man, my mistakes tend to be worse then the average man
