RESISTANCE TRAINING INSTRUCTION: LOWER BODY

By Everett Aaberg

Resistance Training Instruction: Lower Body demonstrates exercises from the hip down. Since the hip's primary function is to work with the knee and ankle during compound movements, numerous variations of squats, presses, and lunges are presented. Several exercises that isolate lower-body movements are also included, as these more specific exercises may be equally important for accomplishing a variety of goals.

Developed and hosted by resistance-training expert Everett Aaberg, the Resistance Training Instruction DVD Series walks trainers through the steps of instructing clients during resistance training. The DVDs demonstrate the proper techniques for the participant and proper instructional methods for the fitness professional.

The three DVDs, which cover the lower body, trunk, and upper body, allow trainers to watch and learn the proper exercise and training techniques for all of the exercises in the book Resistance Training Instruction and many more exercises not included in the book.

Targeted muscles are identified for each exercise, providing trainers with information about functional anatomy. Plus, a time-coded program log makes it easy to find specific exercises.

With the Resistance Training Instruction DVD Series, you will learn how to teach resistance training so that your clients use the proper techniques to get the most out of their exercises.

    FITNESS FOR LIFE LIFETIME FITNESS

    By Charles B. Corbin

    Teenagers often seem to think they're immortal--they believe that their bodies are resistant to most health problems. This can make it hard to get them to care about physical activity and health-related fitness. The latest research shows that many young adults are less active than they should be, placing them at increased risk for heart disease and other serious health risks. As many as 50 percent of American adults do not get enough physical activity for optimal health benefits, and there is evidence that sedentary lifestyles actually begin to develop in the teen years.

    Now there's a new series that speaks to teens on their own level, in a way they can understand, about the benefits of lifetime physical activity. What's more, the series provides specific tools that teens can use to assess their personal fitness and develop realistic individual fitness and physical activity goals.

    Each of the other four segments on the DVD focuses on a different component of fitness. Each segment begins by spelling out exactly why that particular aspect of fitness is important. Next it provides tools so that students can assess their current fitness levels and interpret their assessment results, including those in FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM. Finally, each segment draws from a physical activity pyramid to show a wide variety of lifetime activities that are appropriate for promoting the desired aspect of fitness. The segments demonstrate the proper techniques for each activity, then show students how to set realistic goals and plan a personal physical activity program to promote lifelong fitness.

    Even those who have a limited background in physical education can teach and motivate students to become more physically active with this DVD.

    ATHLETIC BODY IN BALANCE

    By Gray Cook

    You work out and train hard. You know you can reach that next level of performance. But are you doing all that you can to get there? Adding absolute strength and power often creates muscle imbalances and mobility limitations that cause injuries and limit skill training. The Athletic Body in Balance DVD is the first of its kind to show how to identify and correct muscle imbalances, mobility restrictions, and stability problems.

    Host Gray Cook is a physical therapist and sports conditioning expert who has proven the effectiveness of his approach through the performances of athletes in the NFL, NBA, NHL, WNBA, and Reebok? University's sports training system. Cook's methods detect where conditioning is breaking down and reveals how to get your body back on track. Included in the DVD are five assessment tests to help you find the imbalances in movement patterns, sample corrective exercises to improve mobility and stability, and ways to integrate these exercises into a regular training program. The tests include

  • deep squat--assessing the mobility and stability of the hips, knees, and ankles
  • hurdle steps--evaluating bilateral mobility and stability of the hips, knees, and ankles
  • in-line lunge--determining hip mobility and stability, quadriceps flexibility, and ankle and knee stability on both sides of the body
  • straight leg raise--gauging hamstring flexibility
  • seated rotation--measuring uppertrunk stability during a combined upper- and lower-body movement

    Move more efficiently and achieve real gains in performance with the Athletic Body in Balance DVD.
