How do YOU Balance your life?

Balance is often taken for granted; that is until you're forced to put it to the test. I know many of you reading this have said at one time or another “I have horrible balance." I’ll bet you have found yourself wobbling around when you put on your shoes standing up.

Balance, like many of our body's “taken for granted commodities”, deteriorates with age. But beware; age is not the only reason why balance diminishes. Injuries to the lower extremities are another common culprit. A sprained ankle, a wrenched knee , broken toe or injured hip all cause a break in communication between the joint and the brain, altering proprioception - or the body's ability to know where it is in space.

The science behind how the body balances itself is complicated, but simply stated: when sensory data delivered to your brain from vision, the inner ear or your sensory receptors is in some way disrupted, your sense of awareness in space and your balance is disrupted. But the solution to improving this situation is simple – You can easily improve your balance while Beaming™ on the Beamfit™ Beam.

Research studies provide data indicating improvements among those who participate in balance training programs are realized within the first training experience. As for you athletes, incorporating balance exercises (both static and dynamic) into our regular workout is worth the extra time and effort

Why does it even matter?

Well, balance training:

Repairs damaged pathways to the brain assisting in training the right and left hemispheres of your brain to communicate with each other more efficiently,

Strengthens weakened stabilizing muscles throughout your body ( especially in your ankles and feet)

Teaches the body new strategies for keeping itself upright reducing the risk of falling or tripping as you walk through your life.

What's more? Jumping over puddles, standing on a ladder to change light bulbs, snowboarding, and riding on the shuttle at the airport (standing up) all require balance, so a little improvement just makes your life easier.
