A Class Act in Core Stability and Balance |
This session will concentrate on bringing core stability and balance from the physical therapy, rehabilitation, and training rooms, into the classroom. Through the use of games, balance activities, and specific equipment, students will learn how to strengthen the core muscle groups, and reduce injuries in sports. Come try wobble boards, stability balls, individual balance beams, medicine balls, etc. and see how they can be used to create a dynamic experience in your gym. |
