Joints, Ligaments and Injuries- TBA
Enhance your understanding of anatomy! This 3 hour workshop will give you the hands-on experience of working with a cadaver to identify and interact with joints, bones and ligaments.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to clearly identify types of joints and their structure, injuries associated with different joints in the human body, anatomical landmarks of the given region and muscles and their major function.
In addition, you will have the unique opportunity to participate in rotating group breakout sessions to experience the wonders of anatomy, hands on!

Upper Extremity, Anterior and Posterior Thorax- TBA
This reformatted 3 hour workshop will enhance your understanding of anatomy. This workshop will allow students the hands-on experience of working with a cadaver to identify and interact with the muscular and skeletal systems of the upper extremity and superficial muscles of the back. Students will be able to identify: anatomical landmarks; muscles and their major function. In addition, students will participate in a case study analyzing muscular imbalances.

Lower Extremity, Gluteal Region and Abdominal Wall- TBA
This reformatted 3 hour workshop will enhance your understanding of anatomy. This workshop will allow students the hands-on experience of working with a cadaver to identify and interact with the muscular and skeletal systems of the lower extremity, abdominal wall and gluteal region. Students will be able to identify: anatomical landmarks; muscles and their major function. In addition, students will participate in a case study analyzing muscular imbalances.

Functional Anatomy
September 15, 2012 at Elements in Motion, 10:00-4:30
With more anatomy knowledge, the next time you write a client’s program you’ll be more educated on how the body works and how to balance their training properly. Learn how muscles work, not only in isolation, but in integrated movements as well. This new workshop will review anatomical terms and the muscular- skeletal system with emphasis on the major muscle groups and their actions at the different joints. Students will be analyzing various types of exercises with reference to muscle action. This workshop will benefit students enrolling in a course, preparing for an exam or just needing a refresher.
6 hours
ACSM, ACE, NSCA and NASM Approved for 0.6 CECs
STOTT PILATES approved for 0.2 CECs
Other organizations approved up to 6 CECs
Biomechanics of Resistance Exercise and Exercise Prescription
This lecture teaches the student about leavers in the human body and how they relate to everyday movement. The student will learn about the biomechanical factors that influence strength and to analyze exercises by identifying the participating joints, agonists’ muscles and resistance types.

Biomechanics of Injuries
This lecture teaches the student about mechanical concepts that can lead to injury in the human body and relates them to everyday movement, exercise, and sports activity. The biomechanical aspects of bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilages and muscle tissue is discussed with respect to injuries. Students will analyze and modify exercises by identifying the participating joints, muscles, and resistance types to reduce the chance of injury in a given case study

Unilateral Core Stability Challenge
Saturday June 30 1:30-3:30pm
Unilateral control of movement is just as important as bilateral from walking, to reaching, to writing. Day-to-day functional movements are unilateral, using one side of the body at a time. In order to perform a proper unilateral action one needs to strengthen and balance each side of the body independently of the opposite side. Working unilaterally challenges the neuromuscular system while maintaining equilibrium. This insures that the proper muscles are recruited and adjusted on each side of the body for support and balance. Following, the unilateral workout will be implemented into a bilateral workout for synchronization.
1. Students will learn how to incorporate a balanced unilateral workout with exercises.
2. Students will be able to analyze exercises and identify muscular imbalances while working unilaterally.
3. Students will learn how unilateral work influences human strength and muscle contractions.
2 hours
ACE approved for 0.2 CEC’s
STOTT PILATES approved for 0.2 CECs
Other organizations approved up to 0. 3 CECs
Pilates Aerobic Circuit
This fast paced exhilarating workout teaches the student to challenge the cardio respiratory system while incorporating Pilates’ principles by understanding the science behind it. The student will learn the acute response of the cardio respiratory system during exercise and chronic adaptations taking place as a result of aerobic training.
1. The student will understand the physiological concepts of circuit workout.
2. The student will be able to create different circuit workouts base on the client needs.
3. The student will have a large variety of different exercises to apply to their circuit workouts.
4. The student will learn the basic principles of Pilate’s exercises to control client’s posture and stability.
5. This workshop will teach the student the principles of a good solid aerobic circuit workout through lecture and hands on.

Periodization – The science behind long term training program design presented by Dr. Tal Amasay
Price $ 155
Do you always ask yourself what is the next step with my client? Which one of my client’s deficits should I address first? How much time should I spend on each specific deficit? If you answered yes to any of these questions or similar ones, then this workshop is for you. This workshop will cover the strategies needed to support a long-term training program variables improvement for your clients. You will learn how to set long term goals and short term measurable objectives for your clients. These goals and objectives will dictate how to organize and manipulate methodically the training variables such as volume and intensity into specific training cyles with progression supported by scientific evidence.
