balanced stance
Ready, grounded standing position
A balanced stance is a body position with weight distributed evenly, allowing stability and quick movement in any direction.
The term appears most often in sports, martial arts, and fitness contexts: Keep a balanced stance with your knees slightly bent.
Figuratively, a balanced stance can describe a moderate or fair-minded position on an issue.
