Take a class that scares you. If you are a runner, take a dance class to get your body used to moving along various planes. If you prefer to lift weights, try a spin class to increase your hip flexor power. By taking a class that forces you out of your mental and physical comfort zone, you will open up new neuromuscular pathways in your body. This will help with balance and injury prevention in your primary sport of choice.

Try adding some isometric exercises to your workout routine. You can generate approximately 20% greater strength in an isometric contraction than you can with a concentric contraction. Unlike a concentric contraction that shortens the muscle while generating force, isometric contractions do not lengthen or shorten the muscle. Some excellent examples of isometric exercises include: the Plank and the Wall Sit. Sometimes, isometric exercises are known as “stability exercises”.
