I have finalized a presentation in Burnaby for later this month.

It is for the Fitness Blitz 28.

There I am along with the other presenters on the flyer:

Fitness Blitz 28 278x300 Head to Toe Core Fusion Class

Here is the description of my session:

Head to Toe Core Fusion Class

Description:

When we think of “Core”, we often think of the back, but this is only one of the core areas of the body. As a fitness professional, it is important to address all three core areas in the body. In this hands-on session, weightroom instructors and personal trainers will provide a progressive list of exercises that address all three core ares. You will leave this session with a good understanding of all the core areas of the body and a practical list of exercises that you can use with older adults to young, fit clients.

Objectives:

  • Discover the three core ares of the body that need to be addresses in order to prevent injuries, improve fitness results, improve health and overcome injuries.
  • Use common exercise tools found in the fitness center to progress and challenge the core areas of the body
  • Try out a progressive list of exercises that are safe and challenging for all fitness levels

Balance Training for the Rehab Client

DESCRIPTION:

balance courseimage2 Balance Training for the Rehab Client

The importance of range of motion, strength and function when it comes to recovering from an injury is common knowledge. What is often overlooked yet equally important in ankle, knee and back injury recovery and exercise programs is balance; it is also an important part of an older adult exercise program to prevent falls and fractures.

OBJECTIVES:

- Key points to balance and its importance in an exercise and rehabilitation program, as well as fall prevention.

- An extensive list of balance exercises will be discussed, demonstrated and practiced.

- Demonstrations on how to evaluate, challenge and progress balance in clients using Reebok Core Boards, Extreme Balance Boards, rocker boards, wobble boards and discs.

Exercise Rehabilitation of the Hip

hip courseimage2 Exercise Rehabilitation of the HipDESCRIPTION:

Even if it plays a vital role in keeping the ankle, knee and back injury-free, the hip is the most neglected part of the body in an exercise program. When the hip does become injured, it places greater strain on the joints around it and increases the likelihood of injury to those surrounding areas.  In this four hour course, you will learn the key structures of the hip, how to assess the hip to determine exercise readiness, and various progressions for effective exercise rehabilitation for the arthritic hip, hip replacement, piriformis syndrome, SI joint dysfunction and groin strain.

OBJECTIVES:

- Identify the key structures encompassed in the hip
- Assessment of the hip to determine exercise readiness and exercise level
- Exercise rehabilitation programs for the arthritic hip, hip replacement, piriformis syndrome, SI joint dysfunction and groin strain

I hope you are having, or had, a great Thanksgiving if you are from the USA.

I know the year is coming to an end and many times trainers, coaches, and therapists are looking for courses to attend in order to get great practical information and earn Continuing Education Credits before the year is up.

I do have a few courses coming up but before I talk about them, have a look and see what others have said about my courses.

BCRPA Fitness Conference Recap (BC Fit ’10)

Filed Under (Exercise Rehabilitation, Fitness Education) by Rick Kaselj on 19-09-2010

It was a crazy day on Saturday.

Rick Kaselj BCFit10 BCRPA Fitness Conference BCRPA Fitness Conference Recap (BC Fit 10)

I was off to the BCFit’10 (BCRPA 2010 Fitness Conference).

It was a great day.

I presented the sessions for a total of 4 hours:

Start Teaching Shoulder Exercises that Help, Not Hurt
Shoulder injuries lead to pain, prevent people from doing the things they love and make the simples tasks painful. Many will lean to exercises to help them recover from their shoulder injury.  But too often strength exercises will lead to slower recovery from a shoulder injury. What needs to be done before strengthening the shoulder is activating, building endurance and strengthening key muscles in the shoulder.

Core Exercises that Most Fitness Professionals Overlook
Many times fitness professionals focus only on the back when it comes to improving core stability. What is equally important it to look at the core stability of the hip. Poor activation, endurance and strength in the core of the hip leads to greater risk of injury to the lower back, hip and knee. In this conference session fitness professionals will learn a progressive exercise program that they can use with their personal trainer and group fitness clients in order to improve the core stability in their hip.

I have seen a number of bloggers like Eric Cressey and Mike Robertson do random thoughts.

I thought I would give it a go as well.

A lot to times, random throughts are things that come to my mind that may interest you, it could be a quick answer to a question that someone emailed me, announcing an upcoming presentation, etc.

So here we go with the first Random Thoughts.

Enjoy!
