Progressing from Principles of Fitness exercise techniques, Students will learn additional training strategies in order to design exercise programs for client’s wishing to improve anaerobic capacity, movement quality, and occupational requirements (e.g. police and paramedic). Students will be introduced to various training techniques such as: joint mobility, dynamic warm-ups, multi-joint lifting techniques, lunging/stepping patterns, grip strength, advanced cardiovascular interval and tempo training, circuits and more.

| Description: | 1. Activate your glutes by lifting one leg out to the side.2. Draw circles with that leg, feeling your glutes.3. Consider a self-spotting option. Without a spot, this becomes more of a balance exercise than a hip mobility one.4. Try to maximize the pain-free hip range (flexion, abduction, extension, repeat). | ||
