Foot Function & Fascial Lines
The dynamic control of functional movement is deeply integrated in our foundational control of the ground and gravity. Join Human Movement Specialist & Podiatrist Dr. Emily Splichal as she explores how our feet, fascia and functional movement are even more integrated than we currently realize. From fascial tensioning to fascial elasticity, our fascia plays a role in how our feet detect, store and transfer forces during dynamic movement. This webinar will prepare you how to train your clients for more efficient and precise movement.

Exercise as a Vehicle for Awareness
Gray Cook will demonstrate some of his favorite exercises, using tools such as Indian Clubs, Sandbags, Cook Bands and more, and discuss how to choose them correctly based on information provided by a movement screen. Well-placed exercises will reveal key milestones in movement development that help clients become aware of their movement dysfunction and compensation. It’s not about sets, reps and weight. It’s all about symmetry, understanding and awareness for efficient and effective correction.

Easy Strength – Two Decades Later
Easy Strength, a program with roots in 1910 strongman training and Secret Soviet Stuff, continues to evolve as more and more people share the insights of something that is as simple as, "If you want to get stronger, lift weights." Oddly, the fat loss community has been the strongest supporters of this simple system for advanced training.
