ACE Functional Training and Assessent Workshop

AMAZING!!! The American Council on Exercise has developed a new Assessment Workshop. It is a combination of many tools and assessment pieces that will truly establish the necessary information to intellectually and practically create a program design for your client. Whether this client is involved in Spinning, group fitness, pilates, or personal training, this assessment will truly 'set the stage'. The eight hour workshop has been well developed.

There are many Functional Training programs available, and the American Council on Exercise has brought another to the "table" will receive respect and admiration. Use it, and let's take care of our clients.

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact me at wmsonwa@aol.com

Have a great week.

View the article here

Like I have said in the past, until we can assess and determine the need, we will not create "personal" into our training. This is old news but the message has NOT be received, nor implemented everywhere. Have a great weekend.

Advanced TRX

The last weekend in June, I was in San Francisco to begin developing the use of the TRX for special populations. With the law of angles, progression, body assistance at all levels, this suspension cables can be used for anyone. How exciting!!! The majority of those in attendance were physical therapists. They provided insight as did I in how we can adapt the TRX for everyone. It is coming, so be prepared and ready.
