- Just 10 minutes of daily floor exercises may improve balance and agility, study finds
A study from Japan's Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology found that 10 minutes of daily floor exercises improved balance, agility, and trunk flexibility in participants over two weeks. The routine, performed lying on the back, focused on core stability and lower-body coordination, with benefits linked to movement control rather than raw strength. Researchers emphasized proper technique and suggested the exercises could complement, but not replace, full workouts.
