We provide equipment to help you train in an unstable environment. This means that your neuromuscular system faces a greater challenge than it may in a machine based training environment, that you see in many fitness centres or health clubs.
What's the advantage?
You can think of muscles as being in 3 major classes:
Prime movers, stabilizers and neutralizers. The prime mover provides most of the power for a particular function, but the stabilizers and neutralizers keep the joint in place and provide greater control, thereby PREVENTING injury.
In real life you don't have some huge machine stabilizing and isolating your shoulder joint for example. In real life, your muscles, ligaments and tendons stabilize the joint.
So by training in an unstable environment, you challenge those muscles that help to stabilize the joints and neutralize the action of the prime mover. To learn more about this we suggest that you acquire some of the books or videos that we have.
The following equipment is suitable for use at home or in the gymnasium, and we highly recommend it that you have it! WARNING! Using this equipment may challenge you and give you benefits you thought impossible!
