Balance training, just another feature of SoloStrength Bodyweight Exercises and the Lifestyle Program for Active Living

It occurred to me as I was surfing new products in the market today, that one of the biggest needs in our aging society is to work at improving balance.  Most of us in our "middle years" don't think of balance too often, especially if we are fit and carrying a good level of our own SoloStrength around day to day.  For people who do suffer from balance impairment however, this is a very real issue and ongoing concern.  Can you imagine feeling uncomfortable walking around, or out on a trail, because you could simply lose your own sense of balance and topple over?  Well believe it or not, this happens to people, and it isn't hard to imagine how negative the impact on their lives would be.  Some products I came across today designed to support those with balance problems are quite interesting.  For example, the body gym http://www.thebalancegym.com/, is an interesting product.  In review of their website, I was a bit frustrated at the limitations of this system, but can understand the approach they have taken. I am happy to report that everything that can be done on this system in the way of balance training, can be accomplished with our SoloStrength system, with the addition of a secure support bar to add a better sense of support and larger range of motion, as well as all the additional exercises for strength and conditioning which of course are part of our overall Lifestyle Programs.    It is nice to see more products coming available to the market to meet people's needs, and we hope to see more, however we don't believe anything can be more simple or easy to use and achieve the excellent results one can experience with SoloStrength, but as the designers, we might be a little biased.   Enjoy a healthy day!  Live strong with SoloStrength!
