Band Training for Shuffle strength… do you work on it??

Our body was designed to primarily to move forward which is why we can run the fastest in a forward direction.  Ok now that I have enlightened you with that wisdom… Did you know that in order to be powerful forward we must be incredibly stable side to side.

 

Yep, we lose power forward when we have to spend time working so hard on stabilizing in the frontal plane.  It’s called having a frontal plane force leak.

 

How do you correct it??

 

Start strength training and running  sideways as well as forward.  

Have you ever done a high speed shuffle workout?? or all your strength training in a sideways direction??

I have and continue to do this often with bands.  It’s the easiest way to get cardio in and work on dynamic lateral stabilization at the same time.  Now add a little pulling or pushing action with this and you can really rock your frontal plane stabilizers. 

As promised a frontal plane cardio-strength workout. I hope you get a little laugh from the screen shot.
