When training for any sport, there will always be multiple areas of the body to focus on. You may train to be a boxer by focusing on your upper body through the use of kettle bells, power bags and boxing rings. There is more to a strength based workout than just physical strength and stamina.
It is very important to be aware of your personal limitations of movement and to keep your focus on flexibility and an overall, even workout of the entire body. A simple way to incorporate the power bag into your workout is to focus on balance training.
Balance training is a method used by athletes, martial artists and physical therapists. You remain focused on your body, as you keep a steady position and maintain coordination throughout all movement. The power bag is a useful tool that can be used when stretching before or after a workout, with or without equipment.
Proprioception, or the study of balance training, can often incorporate tools such as the balance ball. Using this tool to stretch out underused muscle groups can help to lend to physical movement and "give" in your other muscle groups, while cutting down on muscle adhesion.
Balance training is helpful, but you can't rush it. Your physical trainer will help you discover which exercises will work with you to improve your balance, which ones you should avoid and most importantly which ones are beyond your current fitness level and are therefore dangerous.
Remember that training should be done in moderation and you should slowly ease into the training.
Is balance training by itself enough to give your body a complete workout? No, but if you combine balance training with other types of training you will see significant results.
