We are getting better at seeing muscle imbalances, yet what is the best way to address them? Which exercises come first? This workshop will help you make a plan for addressing mobility and stability issues as you design your workouts to get the muscles firing in the right sequence and get better results from your program.

Expanding your business and income options demands creativity. Partner and small group training is not only an efficient way for you to increase your income, it can attract potential clients who might otherwise not have been attracted to private personal training. This session will cover key logistics such as workout efficiency, being able to observe several people at once and creative progressions that allow you to “tweak” each client’s program—on the spot!

This workout starts with standing and then moves your whole body through all planes of motion. Challenge your core along with hip and shoulder stability and mobility. You will get a great workout in many different positions that will leave you feeling invigorated.

Core training protocols have been under considerable scrutiny and there are many questions that need to be answered, like, "Is the core wired to fire automatically?" Perhaps the most important question is, "What exactly does the research say and how do we use this information to help our clients to progress safely and effectively?" This session will review the most current information available on core training. In addition, we will discuss the necessity of cuing and how it is used with our personal training clients and class participants.
