Strength and Mobility Reboot
Workshop Description: The Strength and Mobility Reboot is an 8-week beginner/introductory exercise program.
It is designed for those who have not exercised ever, in a really long time, and/or are working with some aches and pains they need to manage.
This workshop explains how the different parts of the body (nervous system, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bone) all adapt at different rates and how this impacts early progression and intensity of any exercise program.
No pain. No gain. No way!
Learn why most beginner programs will not help people reach their goals and why these programs often leave individuals feeling worse.
Understand the role of tissue adaptation and how it can lead to frustration, poor outcomes, and injury for many starting their fitness journey. The Rehab Fitness approach that this program follows mitigates this risk and improves outcomes for all individuals.
Most beginner programs combine too many variables, leaving gym-goers feeling overwhelmed and run-down. The Strength and Mobility Reboot lays out a specific plan that allows individuals the ability to progress when their body is ready and equips them with the knowledge to understand when it is appropriate to progress.
Goals and Expectations.
This PT-inspired program will help individuals:
Get stronger
Learn how to improve their hinge pattern (or learn what a hinge pattern is)
Be less fearful of movement, especially when they are in pain
Reduce stiffness
Start to tolerate moderate loading when exercising or performing daily activities
This program differentiates itself because:
It starts with nervous system safety
It blends PT principles with strength progression
Mobility vs Stability
Different joints in the body have different roles. Some need to move, and others do not. The Strength and Mobility Reboot highlights these important joint functions and works to enhance each joint’s proper role in the body.
3 Keys To Progression
Learn 3 simple daily checks that you can use to determine if you are ready to progress parts of the program or not. These 3 keys are also paramount when rehabbing any injury to determine if the tissues are ready for more work or not.
Foundational Pillars
Each phase has pillars that will guide individuals through the program. Phase 1 includes:
Diaphragmatic breathing (incredibly important, often performed incorrectly, and integrated in many parts of the program)
Pain-free range of motion (sometimes it is not the movement that we are performing, but the speed and lack of control that makes the movement painful)
Gentle mobility (forcing range of motion and being too aggressive early in programs rarely leads people to the outcomes they want)
Low-load pattern rehearsal/Improve neuromuscular control (fatigue and too many reps almost guarantee movement compensation and bad habits)
Phase 2 includes:
Progressive overload (your body will be ready to tolerate more work and more intensity)
Increased pain-free range of motion (you have to unlock the ability to access more range of motion)
Gentle mobility through increased range of motion (as you become more in tune with your body, you will be able to access more mobility)
Increased time under tension (progression isn’t just about reps and weight)
Action. Not Just Words
Videos show proper technique for all the movements for all days of each Phase. Certain movements will be demonstrated during the workshop to highlight the importance of HOW each movement should be done.
The Strength and Mobility Reboot Cheat Sheet
Everyone attending will be able to download a FREE cheat sheet of the presentation. It will summarize the key points and will contain video links to all movements discussed during the presentation.
