You are looking to take your training sessions to the next level? But are not sure what that means for you. There are a variety of training methods that you can easily incorporate into your training sessions that will help you with speed, agility and balance. These are all crucial for any athlete and will certainly help you elevate both your cardio and strength training - making you a better overall athlete.
Gaining speed, agility and balance will greatly assist you in activities such as running, but can also help you if you play hockey, football and even golf.
Including balance exercises into your routine is a very smart move. Every activity and exercise starts with balance and will be all that more effective if you can do the poses well and maintain them. Balancing exercises are easily done on your own or through classes such as Yoga and Pilates. In Yoga, the focus of many of the poses is to work on concentration in balancing your body and staying balanced (stability and stamina) in that balanced pose without falling - staying entirely in the moment and being present, while asking your body to perform an athletic movement.
Pilates will help you with your core muscles. The core muscles are responsible for everything from your posture to how you run and walk. Unfortunately, for many of us, these muscles are badly under utilized and are not tone and firm. This is also way many of us suffer from lower back pain - as our muscles in our core are not strong enough - we then rely on the muscles of the lower back to "bail" us out - increasing our lower back pain. Working on stabilizing and toning the core muscles will help you stand more erect as well as help you get through your training sessions in a much healthier and safer way.
Increasing our speed is also another facet of training that can be focused on. Speed is not only about getting there faster, but also about how to get there in a smarter and more productive way. Speed training is about working on resistance and stamina, its about pacing and planning and its about focusing and living in the moment and knowing exactly where you need to go and how you need to get there.
Finally, agility training is about being able to control your body at a moment's notice without losing focus, speed and commitment. Agility is about knowing exactly where you are at all times and being skillful and ready enough to change direction at a drop of a hat. Agility is anticipating the next move and your competitor's next move and it is about being in touch with your own body.
Training is about challenges and thinking outside the box. Challenge yourself!
