Beam is balance plus posture. Build both on the floor before the beam.

Equipment needed: Tape or chalk line on the floor (4 inches wide). Or use a low practice beam.

Setup: Line down the middle of the floor, about 10 feet long.

How to run it:

  1. Arms in T-position (shoulder-height, out to sides).
  2. Walk heel-to-toe along the line.
  3. At the end, turn 180 degrees on one foot. Walk back.
  4. Two minutes total.

What to look for: Eyes look ahead, not down. Shoulders square. Arms steady — no flailing for balance.

Variation: Add a half-turn at the midpoint of the line. Builds balance through rotation.
