Balance is the ability to keep your centre of mass over your base of support.
Proprioception is the ability of your body to know where your limbs are in space.
This is breath-taking!
In August of 2015 Spencer Seabrooke set the world record for the world’s longest ever free solo slackline 290m high 64m wide in British Colombia, Canada.
How much balance training are you doing in your workouts?
Try replacing Squats with single leg squats or ‘Pistol squats’ to challenge your balance in a functional position:
Have you ever tried slacklining?
Slacklining is a great way to enhance your balance and proprioception training.
Not only is it fun but it is also super-addictive.
There is no need to go as high as Spencer though, you can start with the slackline just off the floor.
Add some balance work into your programming today.
You never know, one day your life might depend upon it!
Spencer Seabrooke, the Bulletproofbodies Team salute you.
