You might be surprised at the results when you take this simple balance test. If you don't have good balance, you start avoiding movements that require it. And you know what that means!
If you don't use it….YOU LOSE IT!
That's a major reason for unhealthy aging. You quit moving how you used to move "when you were younger".
Plus you definitely run a much higher risk of getting injured or having a traumatic fall where you break a bone or a near fall where you "catch yourself" and pull a muscle which can put you on the sidelines of life for a long time.
I pulled this test out of the new Posture Transformation and Functional Fitness Online Course so you can get an idea of what to expect when we open enrollment.
If you haven't seen the full introduction to the course yet, you can check itat www.CoreWellnessInstitute.comand be sure to let me know how you do on the test by leaving a comment!
Therabands (Black/Green/Yellow) from Amazon (they didn't have the gray/silver one I'm using in the video for sale individually. So Black is the substitute as it's still a very strong band)
We also have 3 boards in stock that one of our clients make. It's got the same dimensions as the fitter board but only costs $60 vs the almost $100 you pay for the fitter board with shipping. Sorry, we're not yet in the shipping business so you can only grab them if you're local Email rebecca@gettoyourcore.com if you want one.
I released this exercise about a year ago to the people who were in my first Myobalance Method home program trial group.
It's pretty amazing and all you need is a very light theraband (we use yellow).
In the video I refer to an exercise you have not yet seen but it doesn't take away from the power of the message.
Even if you don't have a band you'll still benefit with better posture and less pain if you take the "spreading" concept to heart.
Enjoy!

BTW…my apologies for being absent over the last few weeks. A couple of family illnesses have diverted our attention recently. (Rebecca, I, and the boys are all fine!)
But we're getting back on track and I've got the wheels in motion on new coaching program for people who want to get rid of the painful posture of aging and take "Organic" Posture Transformation and Functional fitness to the next level.
I'll also be offering solutions to some of the great comments we've been getting on the blog in an upcoming video, so stay tuned!
