He believes balance training has sharpened his ability to make new neural connections and see the possibilities and pathways that others miss. Originally Jim was simply looking for a way to maintain his own athletic performance well into his 90s. But the SlackBow Balance Training System he developed turned out to be a key to whole body and mind fitness that was even more revolutionary than he could have imagined.

If you can balance well, your yoga practice is more fun, you're faster and nimbler, and you might even live longer. Sound far-fetched? Check it out: falls are the second leading cause of accidental or unintentional injury deaths worldwide. 424,000 individuals die from falls globally. My balance has improved massively in the past couple years, but historically, I've had terrible balance. I assumed it was something I just had to live with, but I've learned that poor footwear, bad walking patterns, and zero balance training all created this problem—and it's largely reversible. On this week's Yoga Talk Show, you'll learn about balance training for athletes and anyone who seeks optimal health. Listen & Learn: Why balance involves your: vestibular system (inner ear), proprioception (body awareness, sensation) and vision How anyone can learn balance at any age using simple at-home tools and approaches Why balance is a software problem, not hardware How a slackline give you a “fall announcement” so land on your feet and stay safe How 25% of your bones and muscles are in your feet and another 25% in your hands Why slips and falls are the #1 cause of injury (and potentially death) for people over 65 Links & Resources: World Health Organization Stats on Falling SlackBow Site ABOUT OUR GUEST Jim is a lifelong innovator who was looking for ways to maintain his own athletic performance, and in the process, he created The Slackbow Balance Training System, a body and mind fitness program that can help at any age.

This week on Uncharted Performance we are joined by Jim Klopman, the inventor of the SlackBow and the book Balance is Power. Jim was born with brain damage, ADHD, dyslexia, just didn't have the other parts of the system working and how to operate properly in society - as one doctor told him he had the brain of a NFL football player. He was a not a very good student, flunked a few times, took nine years to graduate college. He used athletics to overcome these challenges he was faced with, lettering in five different sports. After years of being an athlete and unsure of his purpose in life, Jim found his purpose and developed his own business called the SlackBow Balance Training System. He created the SlackBow Balance Training System to enhance his own balance as well as others. Jim has worked with professional athletes, including the likes of Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors to both NFL & Major League baseball team, and has benefitted them immensely.

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Jim Klopman joins me to talk about the integral role of balance for health and longevity. Jim is a lifelong innovator who has always been one of those people who thinks differently. He believes balance training has sharpened his ability to make new neural connections and see the possibilities and pathways that others miss. In this episode, we discuss: -The statistics of the death and injury caused by poor balance -Four ways modern life impairs our balance -The link between balance and athletic performance -Balance training for concussion patients -And so much more! Jim believes that balance is a fundamental component of longevity; however its decline can easily be overlooked by most people. Jim has found that, “Balance is this kind of hidden system that we don’t know has gotten worse. When it gets worse, we don’t recognize it but we do see fall off in the performance of our sports.” Jim notes, “We have more fitness, we have better physical therapy, we have better medical care. Our spaces that people walk around in since the ADA has been instituted are perfectly flat, there’s ramps everywhere, there’s no place you should be able to trip in any public space. Yet this number of accidental deaths and accidental injuries for the people over 65 have nearly doubled.” In a world where our balance system is no longer challenged on a daily basis, Jim believes individuals must work to actively include it in their exercise programming. We gravitate to and enjoy sports and recreation which challenge our balance and yet day to day workplace activities we do are predictable. Jim believes, “The problem is that we are losing this sense of balance because of the modern world we live in.” He challenges, “We are not really meant to live in this world where there are perfectly flat floors and perfectly vertical walls.” For more information on Jim: Jim is a lifelong innovator who has always been one of those people who thinks differently.
