The BibRave Podcast Ep. 38: Power from Balance

What’s up! Another episode of The BibRave Podcast coming your way!

This week, Tim and Julia host Jim Klopman, author of the book Balance is Power and creator of the SlackBlock and the SlackBow.

Tim and Julia are both big believers that good balance is a critical component of just about any athletic endeavor, and Jim definitely hits that idea home.

The three of them talk about why balance matters – especially for runners – and they give some “quick hit” balance improvement exercises you can start incorporating into your daily routine today. They also explore the idea that balance needs to come first, regardless of whether you’re a runner, yogi, pilates pro, or weight lifter – for both physical and mental benefits.
