Core Balance
Indoor Core Training
Winter is just around the corner. For some that means hitting the slopes and for others, a lot of snow shoveling. No matter what your plans are, winter is a strenuous time on your body, not just because of all the holiday goodies. I recommend using a balance trainer on the days you don't see your personal trainer. This will help build your core muscles. Why is this important? Core muscles are important for stability, back strength and lifting power. When you don't want to get out of the house this winter, use a balance trainer for extra power.
How do I know which balance trainer to use?
Foam, wood or plastic discs, balls and stabilizers...they all look exciting. Choosing the right balance trainer for your home can be a bit confusing. Most balance trainers are under $100, many under $50. They all get the job done but when it comes to fun and simple, the BOSU is the right fit.
What is a BOSU and what makes it the best balance trainer?
BOSU stands for "Both Sides Up" or "Both Sides Utilized.Its name represents not just the product, but the philosophy behind the workout. This means having balance in life as well as in your workouts. Invented in 1999 by David Weck, the trainer is an inflated rubber "half-ball" attached to a rigid platform with hand grips. It is also referred to as the "blue half-ball", because it looks like a stability ball cut in half. Given it's combination stable/unstable nature, the BOSU can be used by athlete's of all levels...from the young, elderly or injured to elite professionals. Dome side up, this unique fitness tool can be used for a variety of aerobic activities and athletic drills. Living up to its name, the device can be flipped over, platform up, for an equilibrium defying challenge. In this position, the device is highly unstable and can be used for a wide array of exercises as well.
The Bosu was built with lower back pain sufferers in mind. But the biggest benefit was the core stabilization achieved from doing workouts with the BOSU. With the dome side up, the BOSU Balance Trainer is a dynamic piece of equipment. You can stand on, jump on, kneel on, lay on, etc. to challenge every muscle group for optimum results. And you can flip it over to perform many more exercises with the other side up. Keep one at home and one in the office and you will never forget to train your core.
Not sure how to properly use your balance trainer? You can get a booster shot of help in training your entire body at home, by contacting your personal trainer to help you stay extra fit. Combine home workouts with sessions in a trainer's studio to guarantee dramatic results regardless of the temperatures outside. A good local trainer can give you a wealth of ideas for more core strengthening exercises.

Does core training help with handstand balance?
Does core training/a strong core help you when doing gymnastics and handstands and things like that?
Yes, the core muscles (abs as well as back) help to balance the body in any position. Such as tree pose in yoga where you stand on one foot.
