It’s not only the surfer who benefits from good balance. Whether you enjoy walking, badminton, or cycling, balance plays a key role in performance, injury-prevention, and the pleasure you get from your favorite activities. This mind-body skill is integral to all physical activity from the day-to-day activities to weekend sports and leisure activities, and it switches on as soon as you get up out of your chair. Good balance is a remarkable coordination of muscles, nerves, brain, and your senses. Every move you make sparks rapid-fire communication throughout your body aimed at coordinating nerve impulses and muscle contractions to produce even tiny adjustments that keep you upright whether you are standing, walking, or running. Curves Body Balance Class inserts balance exercises between the resistance training on the machines to challenge mind and body and the connection between the two: the essence of balance. Have your best summer ever by getting your body and mind in shape to perform at their peak.
