Regain Your Footing

I recently broke my ankle while hiking in the Great Smokey Mountains. My doctor suggested to me a few different exercises to strengthen my ankle and leg muscles that weren't being used while I was on crutches and in a walking boot. Unfortunately, none of the basic physical therapy exercises were making much of a difference. I kept finding myself favoring my good leg or worse, completely losing my balance.
I bought the Theraband Stability Trainer in hopes that I could make a little improvement. I was blown away by how quickly I was able to rebuild muscle strength and regain my balance. I started out slowly with the green foam pad, but within just a few days I graduated to the blue foam pad. At first it was challenging, but I hung in there and I could tell each day that my ankle was feeling better. It wasn't giving out nearly as often and I wasn't using the hand rails in my house anymore. Finally, I used the black air-filled board to help push me over the top.
I am positive that this product would help anyone who needed to re-strengthen an ankle, knee, or back. In fact, my core got as much of a workout as my legs and that really made a huge difference in my balance. I highly recommend the Theraband Stability Trainer for anyone on the mend.

Things like your bank account or family relationships. Exercise is the last thing most of us make time for. This week's featured products make it easier for you to fit exercise into your daily routine. They are simple and can be used just about anywhere.

Many of you have written in saying, "Every morning I wake up and fall flat on my face." To that I say, "Quit waxing your bedroom floors." However, for some of you that just isn't enough. A sturdy sense of balance is the sign of a healthy body. It reflects a strong core and good muscle tone. As well as a healthy inner ear. A balance ball is a simple tool that you can use at home while watching tv. DMESuplyGroup.com carries a variety of these aparatus such as the Cando Stability Trainer. All you do is stand on it. That's it, just stand there. Of course it's the not falling off part that serves as the workout. As you teach your body to balance itself on the ball you will be strengthening muscle groups that normally get missed while watching TV. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to workout at home this may be just the thing you are looking for.
