My notes: Closing the eyes while balancing, challenges the visual system. Looking around while balancing challenges the vestibular system. Take the shoes off, that’s the somatosensory system giving you info about the foot touching the floor. Stage 1 is static balance and means that the balancing body part stays static. You can progress this by moving other limbs. Stage 2 is balance strength: The balancing limb starts to move (bend at the joint - big movements) Stage 3 is absorbing force and landing This is helpful in transitioning to SAQ. Involves jumping and hopping.

These are perfect adding these to my notes as well thank you

Great vid. Great channel. so you've earned a new subscriber. Re: balance training. I played high school football and blew out my knee in the '80s in my junior year. I rehabbed, but it bothered me for two years while playing football and basketball. Until I took college PE, where the trainer was a physical therapy Ph. D. candidate. He taught me basic balance exercises to train my ancillary knee muscles. 40-ish years later, I still do them. But now on a Bosu ball. And my knee pain after a 5-mile run is still less now than it was at 17. All because of someone like you who spread knowledge.

Great story - thanks for sharing!

Awesome pants! Even more awesome information!

Just want to say that i love your content. Love the way you explain and provide examples. I have a question. So say i take a first time client and have them perform the static single leg lift and chop. How many reps should i start them with and have them complete before moving on or change body position. Also, during the course of the month how often should we be increasing sets or reps. Nasm i believe recommends 4 to 6 weeks per phases. Am i correct? After phase one and depending on ones goals once we cycle through the phases and come back to phase one is the idea to continue with more challenging balance exercises the next time around? I realize there is so much room for error when it comes to these phase one workouts. Last, i was curious to know if you would consider doing a video on creating exercise programs with a first time client and when to progress or regress with examples. Thanks for all you do and helping us understand the content.

would it make sense in phase 2 balance to add a weighted dumbell to challenge balance by making the core unstable or does that turn it into a core exercise and not balance?

It might make sense to do that for a more advanced trainee. When thinking about exercises, many can target multiple attributes at the same, but the exercise chosen should be based on it's most impactful primary result. In this case, balance exercises should be chosen that deliver balance improvements more than targeting a specific muscle.

How long do you stay in each phase?

Until the client demonstrates proficiency in the current phase.
