  • Increase coordination and balance
  • Increase endurance and stamina
  • Reduce risk of neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, knees, ankle injuries
  • Reduce risk of surgery and long-term injuries
  • Improve movement efficiency
  • Increase shoulder rotational inertia
  • Increase core strength
  • Improve hip mobility and stability
  • Improve focus, rhythm & coordination via brain training
