Jam-packed with instructions and updated applicable information to help you understand your clients' interpretation of low back pain or discomfort.
That is why I developed Eye of the Trainer. This 30 minute video is packed with 7 exercises that become your muscular assessments. I have chosen 7 exercises that are performed in gyms across the US. While performed regularly by exercisers everywhere--they are typically done incorrectly. In the video, the deviations are explained why they may occur. Following each demonstration is some auxiliary exercises that you can add to your workout to help strengthen the muscles causing the deviation.
Each movement is depicted with images illustrating the correct version and the common deviations you will encounter.
This will be useful both to personal trainers who need to know what to look in error control and how to explain the fixes, as well as individuals interested in corrective spinal exercises for personal use." - Laree Draper www.DaveDraper.com www.EverythingStrength.com "Its been noted that upwards to 80% of Americans will experience lower back pain at some point in their life.
I firmly believe that if you limit yourself to only 3-4 movements as your "screen"; you are missing out on valuable feedback that can help develop a more efficient training program.
The concepts that John outlines are critical to not only keeping someone healthy, but improving their performance as well.
