Dysfunctional Training

I was sent this picture this morning. This is precisely why we need to bring a degree of sanity to what we are doing and define the field. THINK. I really can see no place for this exercise unless you are a circus performer. This is taking the idea of instability way beyond where it needs to go. What you are doing here is creating an entirely new skill set. In addition this is a high risk exercise as one of the famous “functional” training gurus found out when he tore his ACL standing on a physioball (in front of an audience). There are so many better and simpler ways to train balance.
