Saturday Presentation: Using Spiral/Diagonal Strengthening Patterns in the Gym, 50 minutes
Course Description
Normal movement occurs in three-dimensional, spiral-diagonal patterns, not in straight lines. Attendees in this highly interactive session learn/review the spiral-diagonal patterns of PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation), and how and why to use these patterns to transform single-plane strengthening exercises into three-dimensional patterns of motion that mimic natural movements.
This seminar is geared to fitness professionals who have minimal experience with PNF techniques and 80% of the time is devoted to hands-on practice under expert supervision.
