Basic Biomechanics
for Fitness Professionals
Presented at Club Industry East in Boston

Understanding Basic Biomechanics will help you understand why you do what you do — which leads to better results for clients and a better bottom line.

Obviously, what our abs have to do during the day has nothing to do with crunches. So what do the abs do?

Learn the scientific facts behind the range of motion, reps, sets, loads, tempo, frequency, exercise order and exercise choice for best results - most people get every one of these variables wrong!
