How to Exercise
Body balance is not something we generally think about as being part of overall fitness though it should be. Balance training can facilitate movement skills and raise functional movement potentials to new heights. All our daily activities require balance. Even walking which we take for granted is the act of losing balance as one foot lifts up, and we regain it by stepping down. We often take our body’s ability to balance for granted. As we age, our natural ability to maintain good balance and posture as well as quick reaction time diminishes. Remember, even though balance ability reduces with age, it can be improved with practice. BENEFITS Improves posture and body alignment, Improves functional stability for daily activities, Strengthens core muscles, Improves co-ordination and self-awareness, Enhances neuromuscular awareness and Increases strength. |
