Become an Expert in Managing Client Weight
Loss, Weight Gain & Bone Density Using the New Body Composition
“Gold Standard” Technology with Tara Keller, Peter
Schwagly and Ruth Foster
 It is common for body composition testing to be performed using bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA)
and anthropometrics (skinfold tests), however these tests not only leave a
standard error margin of 4-5%
but additionally, anthropometrics are reported
as an invalid predictor of
percent body fat and BIA a poor
measure as it is affected by body hydration status, body temperature, time
of day and does not take into account the location of body fat. Now your clients can access the one
test proven as the “Gold Standard” for
its precision, accuracy and reliability that no other test can match: DXA
Scans – exact measurements in fat tissue mass, fat-free soft (lean)
mass and total body mineral (from bones) used by all of the top researchers
in body composition. (more) (Register

How the Alexander Technique Can Help You
Exercise Better? with Carrie Wood
 We will look at the
principles of the Alexander Technique and how it helps with daily movements
as well as exercises. We will
look at 4 common exercises that trainers and instructors
use and how you can teach them better. We will cover movement
patterns for trainers to look for and how to address them for better functional training. Educating that movement with
less stress and tension is better for
the joints and their mobility. (more) (Register

Biomechanical
Limitations in the Female Athlete: Game-Ready/Rehab
Applications for Post-op ACL
Injuries with Carmen Bott
 Retrospective
research has shown that female athletes are 4-6 times more at risk for
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
tears than their male counterparts who play the same sports at an equivalent level (Myer et al
2004). Neuromuscular training
is the greatest contributor to
dynamic knee stability and offers the greatest potential for intervention and prevention (Myers et al
2004). Female athletes benefit
from neuromuscular training because they often display lower baseline
levels of strength and power as compared to males. Training programs can be designed to
reduce gender-related differences in force
absorption, improve joint
stabilization and correct muscle
imbalances. (more) (Register

Balance Bodies for
Improved Performance and Injury
Prevention with Alfred Ball
 Many clients come to
you with postural faults that put them at risk for
injury during specific exercises. Our clients’ bodies have become
imbalanced through work, daily
activities and sports. Some
muscles may be short and strong,
weak and long or short and contracted. Imbalanced muscles work harder and fatigue faster. Is a ‘tight’ feeling
muscle actually short? Too often
we choose exercises, stretches and activities that make these imbalances
even worse. (more) (Register

program. Find out the risks and
