Balance
Improve your balance and core stability with our collection of functional yet versatile training equipment.
You can improve your balance and coordination through regular exercise and incorporating balance training into your workout routine. For example, you could try using a balance trainer when exercising or attempt specific yoga poses designed for improving balance, like the mountain pose, chair pose or tree pose. Aside from yoga, sports and activities like tai chi, badminton and climbing are also great for improving balance and coordination.
Essentially, exercises to improve balance focus on building core strength and the muscles in the lower body. Due to this, exercises that strengthen your abdominal muscles or pelvic floor (such as planks) and exercises that build lower body strength (such as squats, deadlifts and glute kicks) will also work to improve your balance.
When people think of balance trainers they usually think of equipment like the BOSU ball, a device specifically designed for aerobic conditioning, core stability and balance training. A BOSU is definitely worth purchasing; for example, it has been shown to increase core activation when compared to just doing crunches on the ground. Balance trainers are also great for beginners, helping to improve overall strength and readying your body for more advanced workouts.
