Dynamic Anatomy
Did you know that your hamstrings help extend the knee? Do you want to know how your adductor and abductor muscles really work? As a fitness professional it is important to understand human anatomy so that you can guide your clients towards success. However, the anatomy currently being taught in traditional textbooks often does not accurately describe how muscles work. This interactive session will help you understand how muscles function during upright movement patterns so you can design exercise programs that produce results.
Objectives:
1. Learn how muscles function during the gait cycle
