Hey Tina trainer gal, you’re not doing what you think you’re doing.
All you are doing on that bosu ball/airsoft pad is teaching your body how to not control forces in different positions.
1. Thats not how the 3 main parts of your balance work.
- Visual system
- Vestibular system
- Peripheral system and biology.
2. Thats not how your biology learns to manage forces better.
You lose your balance when the forces you are trying to manage are greater than what you can control in the position you are in.
Putting people on stupid pieces of exercise equipment and encouraging them to not fall down is not the same as improving their balance.
If you are a coach that is doing this. You are stealing your clients money, and wasting your clients time.
Improving a person’s spinal mobility will do a 1000x more for their balance than any bosu ball could ever hope to on the greatest of fit influencer instagram accounts.
Worse yet, if you’re having someone do jumping onto the bosu you’re more likely to injure your client than anything.
If you want to improve a person’s balance, train their ankles and improve their tissue quality and ROM. Heck chase them with a chainsaw. Anything other than a do dumb exercises on a bosu ball.
Rant over.
