CORE TRAINING - BIPEDAL MOVEMENT |
PHYSICAL TRAINING IS OF SOME VALUE, BUT GODLINESS HAS VALUE FOR ALL THINGS, HOLDING PROMISE FOR BOTH THE PRESENT LIFE AND THE LIFE TO COME |
- 1 TIMOTHY 4:8 |
Most of our skills are developed on the ground. When you begin working on apparatuses such as swing sets and hand rails, check your environment before you work. Stress test them for strength. If the bars are bending under your weight, then don't use them. Also, early morning dew and left over rain moisture will prevent good traction. I've also found playground mulch dust prevents good traction on poles. Some playground paints seem to discourage traction in certain temperatures. Be careful, be safe. There's nothing more frustrating than sitting out, waiting for your body to heal because you attempted something before testing your surfaces. |
Bipedal Movement We'll start on the ground to develop our balance so that we're ready to safely traverse height and don't break ourselves. |
