Balance is defined as “to keep or put something in a steady position so that it doesn’t fall.” Balance exercise is a very important part of physical fitness, but is often overlooked. Along with balance, we should be training endurance, strength, and flexibility. All four areas should be part of our workout regimen.
So, what are the benefits of balance training? Balance training can improve your body’s performance and flexibility, and increase joint stability, and core strength. It can improve your posture, reaction time, coordination, and gait speed. It also reduces your risk of falling.
Our sensory receptors are a key component in balance. Receiving information from our feet to our brain to adjust to maintain balance is crucial. That’s why training barefoot is so important to keep our sensory receptors firing and working as they should. After age 40, our sensory receptors begin to die if not stimulated, so it is imperative to train them with intention. This is why we start to lose our balance as we age.
