Advances in Core Training
Advances in Core Training first exposes you to a paradigm shift in the way you look at functional exercise. Gary Gray often lectures on the separate topics of movement screening, reactive neuromuscular training, Core stabilization and injury prevention. In this course, Gray weaves each of these topics together and shows how they are interdependent, interconnected and inter-related. He chose this course as his first with PTontheNet.com simply because it touches on all aspects of functional training with a background in neuromuscular science. Gray was the first to introduce Functional Movement screening in both sports and fitness and in this course he shows how it is extremely important to take Core training from protocol-based abdominal isolation to functional activity that is based in science and rehabilitation. The fundamental principles laid out in this course are equally applicable to the general fitness population as well as advanced high-level sports performance groups. Gray introduces a continuum that will help you individualize Core training to maximize results. Simply stated, this course will change the way you think about Core training!
