Balance Training: Stability Workouts for Core Strength and a Sculpted Body
GO BEYOND THE BALL WITH TODAY’S NEWEST STRENGTH AND BALANCE EXERCISES.
Balance training—or working out on unstable surfaces like the BOSU, ball and core board—forces you to use the deep, inner muscles that other workouts miss. These are the muscles that make you look sleek, toned and sexy.
Whether exercising on the mat at home or working on a balance tool at the gym, Balance Training will help you dramatically sculpt your legs, butt and stomach while improving overall strength and posture. Your core and foundational muscles will never be weak and flabby again.
This book takes balance training to the next level, providing the benefits of yoga and Pilates as well as strength and core training—all in one easy-to-follow program.

I noticed that few reviewers gave this book 5 stars, and several gave it 2. I give it 5, because if you are looking to improve your fitness and don’t know where to start this book is ideal.
It is focused on building your balance and strength, and if you are over 50 this is vital. For those of you over 50 and going to gym, and not feeling like you are making progress, this book will transform your outcomes.
Sitting on gym machines sends you backwards - it does precisely the opposite of the exercises in this book. Gym machines isolate muscles and disconnect your brain from your movement and balance. The book is full of exercises which engage an array of muscles which support your daily activities and activate your muscular-neural connection.
Which do you think matters most when you are over 50 - looking good in a t-shirt but stumbling on the footpath, or having balance, core strength and muscular coordination? If you believe that it is the latter, as I do, then this book will be very helpful for you. It gives you the HOW, which is what most people are looking for.
Choose a selection of the exercises, and do them for 15 minutes each day, and I'm sure that you'll feel great that you did.
Good luck.
