Training Your Balance For Improved Performance – Part 2
In part 1 of this balance training series I talked about the 2 different types of balance (static and dynamic) and why both are important for improvements in performance.
In this post I just want to show you a few more balance training exercises you can try to incorporate into your training for a new challenge.
.
By training your balance you will improve the activation of different muscles to stabilize your ankle, knee, hip and core and therefore enhancing your overall ability to remain stable in a changing environment.
There are 3 different balance exercises shown in the video below, each using different types of equipment…
.
These exercises are great to add into your warmup or even at the end of your workout when you are in a fatigued state for extra balance improvements.
.
Let me know if you like the exercises by leaving a comment below.
Have a great day!
Cheers,
Clayton

Better to do first exercise with no shoes- like when surfing?

Yes I tend to train barefoot a lot of the time unless I am doing jumping exercises, where I will wear shoes with some cushioning.
