Video: Balance Drills

Adam Hodges | June 1, 2012

This video is part of a series demonstrating the first part of a dynamic warm up: neuromuscular activation.

Once you have mastered the basic muscle activation exercises, you can gradually add an additional component to work on balance. Simply do each of the exercises using a balance disk. This will further enhance recruitment of core muscles.

Videos in this series:

  • Core Snap and Backward Lean
  • Quadriceps Activation
  • Medial Glutes Activation
  • Hip Flexors, Hamstrings, Glutes Activation
  • Progression toward Balance Drills
  • Full Muscle Activation Sequence
