Surface Balance

To have control of your balance on any surface is an acquired but worthy skill.
To have good balance, you must have a good muscular structure. Not the kind you are born with, but the kind you earn with hard work.
   Now I'm going to talk about surface balance. The kind of balance where you are stable on any possible surface. It's easy to see people do fun things and be able to balance in certain areas without any problem. But why not be one of those people? Even if you are eighty five!
   To have joints that will hold you up, you need muscles that will hold you up. You're muscles have a thing called memory inside of them, memory is the ability to know just how to move and contract to perform a proper exhibit of strength or balance.
   Now don't think I'm just talking about standing on your hands. Sure that's a fantastic way to figure out your balance, but being able to balance on your feet as well as you possibly can, is something you really ought to consider.
   Exercises like pistol squats, squats, jumping squats, high jumps, calf raises, single leg calf raises, jumping jacks, and all that fancy stuff gives you strong muscles. And if you can generally do something like twenty five pistol squats on one leg no problem, you'll probably be able to walk over a bunch of uneven rocks and move through a mud pit no problem.
   Now to talk about all around. I think that humans were designed to be able to balance on more than just their feet. There's a reason we can actually stand on our hands. Look at monkeys, can they stand on their hands? I think not, because they do not have the muscular structuring proper enough for such movement! Humans? Well you see, we're intelligent, we have minds that we make things happen with, such as standing up on our hands, as well as doing flips off one leg and spinning through the air like a drill bit.
   You must have a strong body to teach it balance on all surfaces, move from one to another and slowly but surely, it becomes incredibly strong and immovable.
