We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and that your 2014 is off to a great start.
If you are like most highly motivated health and fitness professionals, you likely created New Year’s resolutions. The new year is a great time to resolve to work on yourself and developing those habits that will improver your chances of accomplishing your business and personal goals.
At Fitness Education Seminars™, we are focusing on our resolutions as well. While we continue to be the industry leaders in providing real-world, practical strategies for health and fitness professional that primarily work with general population, we are focusing this year on providing you with strategies that will support you in developing yourself into an industry expert that your current general population clients – as well as your potential clients – need, want, and will pay for.
You see, there is a huge need for qualified individuals to work with clients experiencing postural and movement related issues, discomfort, and chronic tightness. As you have come to learn through our newsletters, most of the musculoskeletal issues that our clients experience do not occur as a result of genetics, hereditary, or simply by chance.
The majority of our clients’ musculoskeletal issues are a direct result of their chronic movement habits.
And if you want to be that expert that your clients as well as potential clients seek out to help them solve their issues and accomplish their health and fitness goals, then you must become an expert in teaching your clients new stabilization and movement habits. And new habits must start with an understanding and relentless discipline in applying the principles that govern human stability and movement – the principles of The Integrative Movement System™.
Helping your clients align, breathe, and control their body while integrating the fundamental movement patterns – pushing, pulling, squatting, lunging, rotating, bending, and gait – is the best way to ensure your clients are successfully developing new habits and progressing towards accomplishing their functional goals whether they be to run their first 5K, workout to lose weight, or simply live life with less tightness and discomfort.
And speaking of changing stabilization and movement habits, in this edition of Fitness Insider™, we’re going to take a look at horizontal pushing patterns and how you can utilize cable chest presses to help your clients achieve better control of their shoulder. You will notice a distinct difference in how I perform the cable chest pattern while utilize the principles versus what happens when I don’t focus on proper alignment, breathing, or control.

Be sure to stay tuned to Fitness Insider™ to see what we have in store for you this coming year.
