Static balance training is simply holding a position still, trying to maintain your upright posture. Dynamic balance training incorporates different movements and focuses on maintaining your balance in various positions. Some examples of dynamic balance training include the following exercises:
Foot taps to cone
Mini lunge with reaches
Head turn with reach and more.

Slow Down for Better Balance
It’s almost always more difficult to perform a movement or balance exercise slowly than quickly. When we slow down and focus on good movements, we put ourselves in the best position to train correctly and to improve our balance.
For example, slowing down to engage leg and gluteus muscles before balancing on one leg can make a huge difference!
Try this: Stand tall in front of a countertop in case you need to hold on for support. Now try standing on one leg (have someone nearby if you are really unstable!)
Now return to standing on both legs. This time, squeeze your buttocks muscles before you try standing on one leg. Now, stand on one leg while you’re squeezing your buttocks muscles.
Most people feel more stable this way! In both cases you may have been able to perform a single leg stance. But when you take the time to slow down and engage your core stabilizer muscles, you have better control and more stability!
