Balance Training
Balance training is a form of body care where one swings like a haunted specter on the floor while engaging in a serious duel with their center of gravity. The forlorn expression of fitness enthusiasts forced onto yoga mats is proof of humanity's collective amnesia of the ability to simply stand upright. In practice, the real thrill lies in the defeat felt by catching cold stares from colleagues glued to their smartphones with every wobble. One endures the gap between ideal and reality only to have the value of self investment dutifully verified by subsequent muscle ache. Its supposed benefits are an odd virtue promptly forgotten during the ritual of post workout icing.
