Body-Brain Coordination Exercises
These exercises are similar to the Brain Balance exercises because they, too, involve coordination of left and right sides of the brain. Now the whole body gets in on the act, which requires the coordination of many parts of the brain at once. You will find that you have a dominant side of the body, just as you have a dominant hand. Use these to help reawaken the non dominant side of your brain for better coordination with your body.
OPPOSITE SHOULDER ROTATION EXERCISE
In addition to being a challenge for the brain, this exercise helps to open the shoulder joints.
Stretch your arms straight ahead with your palms facing each other. Rotate one arm clockwise while rotating the other counterclockwise. Alternate directions and repeat.
QUICK CLAP
This is a great exercise to do in the morning to wake up your brain. The sound and the motion will stimulate your brain.
Clap once behind your head.
Clap once behind your back.
Clap once in front of your chest.
Repeat this sequence 10 or more times, as quickly as possible.
