Rethinking Fitness: The Overlooked Significance of Stability and Balance

Rethinking Fitness: The Overlooked Significance of Stability
and Balance
Staying useful for as long as we can, brain training
our central nervous system to improve our balance, demystifying
PT, the difference between stability and balance, and more. In
today's show, I'm here to share my personal experiences
surrounding stability and balance - two aspects that are often
overlooked. This episode is all about the journey; from me
hopping on one foot to enhance balance, to exploring physical
therapy and sports for more robust body stability, to learning
how this fosters longer, better, and healthier lives for all of
us. It's about harnessing the power of movement and control.


As we age, the risk of injuries from falls increases alarmingly,
making stability and balance crucial for our overall health. This
episode sheds light on these important elements of fitness and
emphasizes how their role goes beyond the traditional gym
routine.

Quotes“If we feel confident in our bodies, if we
feel certain that we are stable, doing whatever we're doing,
we're going to be able to be more useful.”



“Doing things like playing tennis, playing pickleball, all of
these things require an element of stability, and one of the
things to keep in mind is that a lot of our physical faculties
are going to decay pretty much no matter what we do. So we need
to keep them at the peak level for as long as we can.”



“Then we have balance, and balance is a critical part of
stability, but it's not the same thing as stability.”
