Contol

I could talk about control for days and days and days...it is kind of my pet project with my clients. But, instead, I'm going to exercise a bit of control myself and be brief.

I like to do a lot of exercises that require balance because it requires clients to, 1) Concentrate and 2) Control what muscles are doing the movement. My other muscle control technique is speed- or lack thereof. The slower you go, the more control that you have to exhibit in order to execute the movement.

So- to recap: change your balance point (either by adding an overball or an exercise ball or a roller) or move more slowly. Or both. Either way, concentrate and control what each muscle is doing as you perform each exercise.
