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: | Same position as the bird dog plus the added balance necessary to remain stable on the stability ball. Maintain good spine posture, especially of the head and neck, allowing the opposing arm and leg to elevate to maximum range without losing neutral posture or over arching lower back. During the entire movement keep the core engaged. Spotters stay close and at client level. | ||
| Common Error(s): | Forward Head Posture | Sagging lower back | Not engaging core | ||
| Spotting: | Instability training | ||
