Cat Balance Tutorial Print E-mail
Wednesday, 27 February 2008
 

by Travis Noble - The "Cat Balance" or quadrupedal balance is a great drill for developing wrist strength and stability, core stability, and balance as well as overall body-awareness. It is important to note that you take as much time as needed between steps in this tutorial. It is much more beneficial to take it slow and be comfortable than rush things and risk injury. The video shows a progression for training.

Awesome idea, i will have to try this. It looks like it will require a lot of ab strength... :zzz

13. 10-30-2008 14:41

Its like planks on a pole instead of the ground and with movement in the wrists and i think this helps reduce unnecessary and awkward movements but i have yet to try it. Nice Tutorial. Thank You.
