How the Togu Balanza Ballstep Trainer Works for Balance Training
When working with balance training, instability is essential for activating deep stabilizing muscles and joints of the back and core. When performing balance training using instability, the body works to find balance and as a result activates and strengthens the core, chest, and balance skills. The Balanza Ballstep Trainer is an innovative tool that is perfect for dynamic balance training whether for fitness, sports or rehabilitation.
Balance training helps improve:
-
Body awareness: Body awareness is also known as proprioception and is important for ease of movement and injury prevention.
-
Coordination: Coordination is the ability to move all your limbs together to perform specific movements and activities.
-
Joint Stability: Balance training improves stable knees, ankles, hips, and shoulders and is important for injury prevention.
-
Reaction Time: The instability provided by balance training improves the body’s ability to rebalance itself and improve reaction time with movement.
-
Strength: Balance training improves the strength of the core, back and legs, including smaller stabilizing muscles.
