In the journey to improving movement efficiency and preventing injuries, proper exercise execution is key. That’s why KEYS is excited to share a new tutorial led by Blaž Kopič, a physiotherapist and director of the Vertebrae Center, a valued member of the KEYS consortium. In this tutorial, Blaž guides us through the correct way to perform the Horse Stance + Side Kick Sling, a fundamental exercise for core stability, balance, and strength.
Why is This Exercise Important?
The Horse Stance + Side Kick Sling is designed to enhance:
- Core Activation: Strengthening the deep stabilizing muscles to improve posture and reduce injury risk.
- Hip Mobility and Control: Improving movement mechanics, which is crucial for athletes and rehabilitation patients alike.
- Balance and Coordination: Training the neuromuscular system to respond more efficiently to movement demands.
Key Points for Proper Execution
To get the most out of this exercise, keep in mind:
- Spinal Alignment: Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
- Controlled Movements: Avoid excessive momentum; focus on muscle engagement.
- Breathing Coordination: Breathe naturally to support core stability.
