Balancing drills

What are some good drills to do to improve one's balance. I noticed much improved balance when I started doing pistol squats and using a evaluation line

Ive put a line in my garage to help me with my basic footwork, the video will be a massive help in getting more from my line work! thanks for posting

a good exercise i do - dunno what its called though - is where you get into a press-up position, but with your knees on the floor. You then extend your left arm out and lift your right leg off the floor, then alternate

I'll practise balance in everyday life, something you can think about a lot if you have training on your mind. Remember the line, centre of balance. Not a big fan of drills but skip rope is good for balance aswell as kicks in the air (fwd and behind) and pistol squats, lunges. Ali shuffle movement is helpful.

cheech, 8" iron pipe covered in treadmill rubber running rubber, gives grip.

one without it too gives a different feel, makes it interesting.

Also on one its great for skipping on great coardination exercise doing doubles.

Jumping lunges.

Standing on a fitball or 2 well blown up basketballs are some of my favourites, a good workout for the legs and you must be very focused to do either of them.

Good video from the op. And I wasn't even the least bit disturbed that the trainer sounded like Herbert from family guy. Not even a little.
