The Secret Of Unstable Atmosphere Training For Strength, Speed
And Power

Luckily I learned a long time ago that if you train the same way
that average people are training, you can expect the same
average results This couldn’t be truer when it comes to
traditional bodyweight exercises and weightlifting routines So
many fitness routines are made up of doing things “the way
they’ve always been done”
Your training should be dictated by one thing, results The
results you want, and the results your training is giving you
If results aren’t coming your way, it just might be time to look
at an alternative training strategy
This is especially true if you’re an athlete or training for a
Martial Art, the measuring stick should be progress Is it
working? Are you getting: · Stronger · Faster · Quicker
Reactions · Increasing your athleticism · Very efficient muscle
firing patterns · And on and on
The best way to make sure you will reach your full fitness
potential is to add unstable atmosphere training to your
regimen You accomplish this by using such things as stability
balls and balance disks in your training When you do this, you
force the smaller muscles of the spine to become engaged
These smaller spinal muscles are what I call the “athleticism
muscles” Once you begin to use them, they essentially become
activated and will take part in all your athletic movements The
results are more functional strength, quicker reactions and
overall increased athleticism
The smaller muscles of the spine will adapt once engaged,
sometimes I’ve had athletes feel the progress after only a
couple training sessions And likewise, if you continue to train
while not engaging these muscles, you are in essence teaching
your body not to use them
For example, when doing the basic pushup, your body is learning
just that Your feet and hands are firmly routed, and the
exercise is very one-dimensional Your athleticism muscles are
being taught that they are not needed, and your body will adapt
Many traditional bodyweight exercises and weight training is
nothing like athletic movements and it’s no surprise that they
don’t transfer at all to the athletic arena An excellent
example of this is the simple squat It’s very common for an
athlete who is able to do hundreds of squats to have problems
merely getting a handful out when doing them on the balance
disks The reason is simple, like athletics and life, the
movement now becomes multi-dimensional No matter if you’re a
Martial Artist, a golfer or your just looking to get back in the
fitness swing of things, unstable atmosphere training if for you!
