Balance and coordination usually are not a difficulty or problem associated with being overweight. Balance is actually controlled by the inner ear,a unknown infection, low blood pressure a no of reasons could be the cause but something is off that is of a medical nature. You need to make a appoint with your doctor(MD) to see what's going on with you. Strength of your body comes from your legs for they support your body--after you've been to the doctor and he's determined cause and treated to regain your balance(only a MD can find your balance problem cause) and you still wish to build your core strength TAI_CHI is excellent for it gives you strength in your legs, control of Movement and Coordination and in the process of doing TAI_CHI I guarantee you that you will lose weight. Its not as easy as it looks for the movements are slow and one has to maintain control-you'd be amazed at the energy required and the calories burned---I know for did TAI_CHI for a year,loved it,and will take it again. Also there is no pressure for everyone learns as a individual.individual But please first se a MD for your balance problem Good Luck
