Suspension Training Workshop of training that uses gravity

The Suspension Training Method uses the forces of gravity working against your own body weight to build and improve core strength, balance, flexibility, endurance and power. Suspension training emphasizes the whole body and incorporates constant movement and motion, so the transition from one exercise to another happens in just seconds. It’s also an ideal training regimen for those who wish to workout at home or travel frequently, as the exercises require limited space and there is little to no equipment required — the main apparatus is your body and exercises are based on your own body weight and can be adjusted accordingly as you advance and/or improve.

The D8 Fitness Suspension Training Workshop has been designed specifically for those who prefer to exercise at home or on their own time. The workshop will educate you as to the safe and effective application of suspension training methods to be used in a variety of settings or circumstances. So if you’re a back packer wishing to stay fit while on the trail, a business traveler confined to your hotel room, or the career mother looking to sneak in a workout while the kids are taking a nap, this workshop will show you how to safely and successfully incorporate suspension training into your daily routine.

The workshop will cover the following:

• Step-by-step set-up/safety
• Variations in suspension training methods and styles
• Guidelines for building a safe and effective workout
• The Ultimate Portable Gym: Exercises for varying routines and locations

Price Includes:

• Full session (3 hours) with a certified TRX and Advanced Suspension Training instructor John O’Reilly
• 1 x AST Suspension kit

Steve Maxwell’s Mixed Strength, Conditioning and Mobility Seminar is based on the principles of proper bio-mechanical alignment and technique for all the major pushing, pulling, squatting and low back/core exercises.

The primary concern is teaching candidates progressive loading using varous tools such as kettlebells, ropes, sandbags and their own bodyweight as the load. Each exercise has many modifications, so that even the person with low strength-to-weight ration and the de-conditioned can greatly benefit. Particular emphasis is placed on: wrist, elbow, shoulders and knees, the main problem areas for people using bodyweight exercises. Some subjects covered in the seminar:

Basic principles when working with kettlebells and various kinds of functional training tools

How to perform basic push-ups, pull-ups & body weight squats safely

Wrist, elbow & shoulder alignment techniques to prevent overuse injuries

How to balance the shoulder joints to keep them pain-free

Spinal & core alignment for a healthy back and a stronger, more streamlined mid-section

Proper breathing technique, control–and why this is so important
