Why train statically, when nothing is ever accomplished standing still! It’s the underlying premise of the functional movement, functional training movement.
I haven’t had the opportunity to try out this new training tool, the Core-Tex, but they sure hit it conceptually and motivationally with their promotional DVD. The Core-Tex™ allows for movement in all three planes of motion while its base translates at the same time. This allows for an almost infinite number of combination movements and the ability to change direction to maximize the integration of the body’s receptors from the foot and ankle all the way up to neck, eyes and inner ears. This causes the body to react and respond just as is required with real world activities and sports.

Gotta love the fitness industry – always some new, fun, inspiring toy to play with!
