Balanced Progressive Strength -
Join Gin as she leads Personal Trainers and Group Fitness
Instructors through progressions to build balance, core strength
and grace. Challenge your notions of functional strength!
OVERVIEW
Balanced Progressive Strength is a method of resistance
training that trains your body as a whole, not a sum of its
parts. The legs, arms and trunk are working in concert with
each other in planes of movements that create a resilient,
strong and mobile body. This super-efficient, functionally-targeted
training program focuses on the concept of balance – between
opposing muscle groups, primary movers and stabilizers, and
between strength and flexibility.
The goal is to develop
balanced reactive strength that effectively responds in everyday
function, thereby minimizing risk of injury – be it sudden
or traumatic injuries due to falls, or longer developing overuse
injuries that may occur as a result of training imbalances.
This program can be performed with a wide variety of equipment
options – stability
balls, free weights, tubes, weighted bars, or just body weight. Participants
in this workshop will take away multiple workout options and
an understanding of how to apply this balance-focused functional
strength program.
Course Objectives:
To develop an understanding
of the meaning of balance in fitness: between mobility
and stability, strength and flexibility, and opposing muscle
groups.
To develop an understanding of safe and effective progressions
in balanced strength training designed to enhance movement
and everyday function.
To provide a systematic approach that
enables the participant to teach with a confidence a progressive
program suited to a variety of fitness levels.
Advanced Interval with Circuit Training -
Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Instructors will learn
how to set up energetic, challenging and fun intervals that
will help members move past plateaus. Gin Miller is an expert
at developing functional movement patterns into exciting workouts.
OVERVIEW
Advanced Interval with Circuit Training is a class
format that involves a combination of both circuit and interval
conditioning. This highly effective training is often referred
to as Circuit Interval Conditioning, and requires participants
to exercise through a selection of exercise modalities, while
incorporating rest intervals between modes.
Advanced Interval with Circuit Training is
a strenuous combination of cardiovascular strength, with effort
intervals = >85% maximal heart rate, and muscular endurance,
with repetitions of 18-22 per resistance exercise. Using principles
from these two methods of exercise conditioning stressing the
anaerobic and aerobic energy systems, results in an advanced
training program.
Course Objectives:
To develop an understanding
of the goals and benefits of different types of interval training
programs, with specific emphasis on the components of the advanced
interval cardio format combined with a strength circuit.
To
develop an understanding of the various ratios, controls and
intensity monitoring means suitable for a group fitness setting.
To develop a systematic approach in teaching an advanced format
with intensity layered options, appropriate recovery, and effective
strength exercises in order to provide a safe and beneficial
exercise experience for advanced participants.
