The leading cause for injury hospitalizations in the elderly is falling.
The leading cause for injuries in athletes is “landing funny.”
The leading cause for injuries in recreational strength trainees is “losing your balance and doing a lift all weird.”
So, YES - you should be working on balance drills. Here’s a few to get you started.
DRILLS:
1) Standing on 1 leg
2) Standing on the ball of your foot.
3) Bent knee ball of feet balance.
4) Balancing on unstable surfaces.
5) Lunge balance.
6) High knee take off.
