Balance Training
Many trainers only include resistance (weight) training and cardio training for their clients - the exercises performed typically only focus on isolated joint motion and muscle strength. The movements we do on a daily basis, however, are not limited to a single joint or a single plane of motion. There are many other types of training that are extremely important and beneficial for clients. One of those is balance training, since maintaining postural equilibrium is a dynamic process that we do throughout the day. Scientific research has shown that incorporating balance training into your workout routine will help improve postural control and prevent injuries. Be sure to ask your personal trainer to include balance training in your workout!
