The best way to functionally train the body is through band locomotion
How Our Body Performs Locomotion
Our body was built on being able to perform locomotion in many different ways including:
- Walking
- Running
- Crawling Forward
- Crawling Sideways
- Backwards Walking
- Sideways Walking
- Shuffling
- Skipping
- Crossover Walking
- Hopping
- Jumping
- Lunging
How to Perform Locomotion Training
Band locomotion can be trained in several ways. The easiest is by doing short burst movements against band resistance. By doing this you are able to train the following:
- Hip Strength in all 3 Planes
- Coordination
- Core Stability
- Agility
- Lower Body Strength and Power
- Dynamic Balance
- Cardiovascular Endurance
- Hip Flexibility and Mobility
4 Part Workout Series
The key to safe band locomotion training is progression of resistance along with speed and amplitude of movement. This 4 part series will take you through how to incorporate RBT locomotion into your workouts.
