Helpful tips

If you get dizzy, do not shut your eyes. Instead, focus on an object until your dizziness goes away. Do not exercise if you continue to be dizzy.
If these exercises become too easy you may want to:
- Stand and do them on an uneven or unstable surface. Try standing on a pillow or piece of foam as you exercise.
- Try doing the exercises with your eyes closed.
