What are the benefits of a sequential program?
A sequential workout ensures that the body is stretched and strengthened evenly and consistently. If some muscles are overworked while others are neglected, that can lead to weakness and degeneration in the underused muscles and strain and injury in the overworked parts of the body. A sequential workout creates universal strength and agility in the body. Dancers work sequentially to ensure their whole body is strong and lithe: Dr. Marr works with several professional ballerinas and they often compare The SOAR Method to their warmup routine.

What is a sequential program?
A sequential program is one that moves quickly throughout the body and fully engages each body part before moving on. For example, in The SOAR Method we stretch the hips, then we engage the muscles to strengthen them, and then we stretch them again before moving on to the rest of the body. It's a great way to ensure that no muscle gets left behind!

Why should I improve my balance?
Balance is a skill, and we learn it at a very young age. As the body ages, and has a more sedentary lifestyle, much of that knowledge is lost. This means more falls and stumbles, which can lead to injury. Better balance can prevent that, and it can also keep your mind sharp.
