Moving in straight lines is a thing of the past in terms of training, or at least it ought to be!
When you think of your regular weight training, you will usually move in straight lines in a fixed movement. Most people know I regard weight training as extremely important, vital in fact and that will never change but there are other options you need to do in ADDITION to this form of strength training.
The same with running in straight lines like someone will typically do in a sprint or on a long distance run especially. Sprints are great and one of the most productive techniques you can use and are vital in my view.
Longer distance running can be ok but is often at a cost to your joints, especially for those with poor running styles and poor running shoes and not changed often enough (every 500 miles or 6 months in general).
If you are not doing speed and agility, then you need to start doing it however slow you may start. It will only get better and with the right instruction it will get rapidly better.
All the recent additions in terms of equipment to the gym (over the last 7 days) are very much biased to you becoming much better at handling your own bodyweight and becoming more free in your movement.
These movements are also intended to mimic everyday life experiences in all that you do, as well as copying multi-sports movements.
This will lead to your core becoming a lot stronger again, and being ready for any eventuality in life that comes your way in movement terms.
Anytime you need full instruction on this new equipment let me know!
