Stronger, Lower center of gravity?

I'd like to get some advice on what I can do to help lower my center of gravity and balance. Right now it's one of my weak points.

what sorts of exercises or anything really would you suggest I be doing to help me able to get lower, stronger and without falling over?

Thanks. :)

The main things you will need to work on for this is core strength and strengthening your legs, particular quads and hammies. Simple things like step ups (or walking up lots of stairs), practising deep horse riding stances (the drill where you do a front kick then go into horse riding stance and touch the ground then front kick with the other leg), sitting up against a wall (as if you're on a chair) for a minute or so, squats etc... and of course there's a billion different ways to develop core strength.
Now slightly more bruised than before.

Thanks mate, got some good tips in there.

What are you opinion of doing planks for core strength.

It's hard but it works... I guess you just need to be careful not to over do it as with anything.
