Jon's 5 Favorite Balance Training Exercises - Fitness On The Run Show S1E4
Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 7:06PM Jon’s 5 favorite balance training exercises, using a Ball, TRX, and Indo Board
- Indo flow 1 leg squat with TRX
- TRX/Indo atomic pushup
- Trx suspended lunge
- Indo squats with body bar
- Kneeling on the ball
A few points about Balance and Balance Training:
Balance gets worse with age resulting in increased incidents of falls
Balance training can improve athletic performance
You can “learn” to balance better with practice, just as your brain learns how to do math
Training on unstable surfaces can increase muscle activation without increasing loads on the joints – not designed for increased power, but great for core stability, muscle balance, and good posture.

Thank you you sharing it with us. Looking forward to read more of blog and see more of your great ideas. Keep it up!!! I will share this with my friends.
Jon,
Great post - these exercises are too often ignored by athletes and adult weight loss candidates alike. You are only as strong as your weakest link - these exercises should be part of the foundation of building a stronger body (though, for most, they would be part of a long-term progression).

Awesome exercises! Talk about functional movements that are going to make you really strong and protect you from injury. An athlete that conditions themselves with these types of exercises is going to really have a great shot at staying healthy and increasing performance. TRX bands and the Bosu rock.
Thank's for sharing this to us. I do love your article and your pictures too. This would be additional info about exercise. This could be a cue for us "Health is Wealth".
Thumbs Up!!
