exercises may have more than one

exercises may have more than one movement or direction maybe two limbs

movement or direction maybe two limbs

movement or direction maybe two limbs doing something opposing or different

the type of training that applies to anyone across the board well thank you

anyone across the board well thank you

anyone across the board well thank you very much do you think you can show some

very much do you think you can show some

very much do you think you can show some of the moves now yes certainly let’s get

of the moves now yes certainly let’s get

of the moves now yes certainly let’s get to the good stuff alright so the first

to the good stuff alright so the first

to the good stuff alright so the first move that will do is to have Deb go line

move that will do is to have Deb go line

move that will do is to have Deb go line on a ball and perform core work in a

on a ball and perform core work in a

on a ball and perform core work in a rotation direction so this is a stage 1

rotation direction so this is a stage 1

rotation direction so this is a stage 1 or level one focusing on doing rotation

or level one focusing on doing rotation

or level one focusing on doing rotation of the body can add a resistance to

of the body can add a resistance to

of the body can add a resistance to between our hands can also change the

between our hands can also change the

between our hands can also change the speed of the ball in the lowering phase

speed of the ball in the lowering phase

speed of the ball in the lowering phase and the rising phase can also focus on

and the rising phase can also focus on

and the rising phase can also focus on acceleration and stopping right at the

acceleration and stopping right at the

acceleration and stopping right at the top next step is going to be having Deb

top next step is going to be having Deb

top next step is going to be having Deb go to the cable stack and perform

go to the cable stack and perform

go to the cable stack and perform exercises for the core in a rotation

exercises for the core in a rotation

exercises for the core in a rotation direction with added elements to make it

direction with added elements to make it

direction with added elements to make it more difficult she’s taking the support

more difficult she’s taking the support

more difficult she’s taking the support all on her own so she has to control her

all on her own so she has to control her

all on her own so she has to control her body through the moving in rotation here

body through the moving in rotation here

body through the moving in rotation here is a single plane rotating sideways

is a single plane rotating sideways

is a single plane rotating sideways we’re going to add more movements to

we’re going to add more movements to

we’re going to add more movements to make it be a little more challenging so

make it be a little more challenging so

make it be a little more challenging so they’re just doing a shift towards the

they’re just doing a shift towards the

they’re just doing a shift towards the source and then shift away from the

source and then shift away from the

source and then shift away from the source so now we have two movements

source so now we have two movements

source so now we have two movements happening at the same time there’s a

happening at the same time there’s a

happening at the same time there’s a shift and there’s a rotation make

shift and there’s a rotation make

shift and there’s a rotation make another adjustment bringing the source a

another adjustment bringing the source a

another adjustment bringing the source a bit lower

and now we’re going to add another

and now we’re going to add another direction of movement to make it one

direction of movement to make it one

direction of movement to make it one step higher still you’re gonna start low

step higher still you’re gonna start low

step higher still you’re gonna start low and close to the source and finish high

and close to the source and finish high

and close to the source and finish high in a way so she has the shift she has

in a way so she has the shift she has

in a way so she has the shift she has the rotate plus she has a movement from

the rotate plus she has a movement from

the rotate plus she has a movement from low to high now we’ll go over and get

low to high now we’ll go over and get

low to high now we’ll go over and get some push-ups going on we’ll have Deb go

some push-ups going on we’ll have Deb go

some push-ups going on we’ll have Deb go from easier to more difficult and

from easier to more difficult and

from easier to more difficult and getting even more difficult after that

getting even more difficult after that

getting even more difficult after that so he or she’s supporting her own body

so he or she’s supporting her own body

so he or she’s supporting her own body weight but through her knees shorter

weight but through her knees shorter

weight but through her knees shorter body height makes it less difficult then

body height makes it less difficult then

body height makes it less difficult then if she’s on her toes push up from toes

if she’s on her toes push up from toes

if she’s on her toes push up from toes more difficult push-ups do a work the

more difficult push-ups do a work the

more difficult push-ups do a work the pushing muscles of the body which are

pushing muscles of the body which are

pushing muscles of the body which are chaste front shoulders triceps so

chaste front shoulders triceps so

chaste front shoulders triceps so there’s also a lot of stabilizing that

there’s also a lot of stabilizing that

there’s also a lot of stabilizing that has to go on in the shoulders in the

has to go on in the shoulders in the

has to go on in the shoulders in the core as well alternating one foot at a

core as well alternating one foot at a

core as well alternating one foot at a time push up it was down one up with one

time push up it was down one up with one

time push up it was down one up with one foot in the air switches down and up

foot in the air switches down and up

foot in the air switches down and up with another foot in the air so does

with another foot in the air so does

with another foot in the air so does this create difficulty now she’s less

this create difficulty now she’s less

this create difficulty now she’s less stable think of it as a table that only

stable think of it as a table that only

stable think of it as a table that only has three legs that table is a little

has three legs that table is a little

has three legs that table is a little more wobbly so she’s got to use the

more wobbly so she’s got to use the

more wobbly so she’s got to use the stabilizer muscles of your whole body to

stabilizer muscles of your whole body to

stabilizer muscles of your whole body to keep the form accurate and good so here

keep the form accurate and good so here

keep the form accurate and good so here now adding difficulty of resistance to

now adding difficulty of resistance to

now adding difficulty of resistance to the push-up to make it a little more

the push-up to make it a little more

the push-up to make it a little more difficult and now we can add another

difficult and now we can add another

difficult and now we can add another level to the exercise to make it more

level to the exercise to make it more

level to the exercise to make it more difficult and add another upper body

difficult and add another upper body

difficult and add another upper body component which would be a one arm pull

component which would be a one arm pull

component which would be a one arm pull she’s pulling a rope with a weight

she’s pulling a rope with a weight

she’s pulling a rope with a weight attached to the end she has the

attached to the end she has the

attached to the end she has the difficulty of stabilizing that with only

difficulty of stabilizing that with only

difficulty of stabilizing that with only one hand and a rowing with the other so

one hand and a rowing with the other so

one hand and a rowing with the other so there you have it a few examples of

there you have it a few examples of

there you have it a few examples of functional training what one for

functional training what one for

functional training what one for performing exercises core in a rotation

performing exercises core in a rotation

performing exercises core in a rotation direction and one for performing push up

direction and one for performing push up

direction and one for performing push up with core stabilizing and help
