Agility & Balance Training for those over 50:

Agility training is defined as the ability to change direction with short bursts of movement at varying speeds or cadence. When you view athletes like football players performing footwork drills this type of training can seem intimidating at first. However, agility training can be systematically trained like any other physical quality; and exercise variations exist to accommodate people of differing levels of athleticism.

For example in the pictures below Lisa is working on developing Speed/Agility/Coordination through boxing drills at an intermediate level while Linda is working on Agility/Coordination through hurdle training at what could be called a novice level. Both are very beneficial for developing the ability to maintain control of your body as you move, but one is much lower impact and has less of a learning curve than the other. This makes lower impact agility drills like the one mentioned above a great option for those who cannot take higher levels of impact on the body, but still want to enhance this physical quality.

Agility training has been proven effective in reducing the risk of falls for those who regularly train according to a study conducted by the National Institutes of Health.

If you have any questions on how to enhance your strength, agility, or how to move with more coordination in your daily life give me a call or email. I look forward to hearing from you!
