Workshop Info:

Anatomy Trains in Training has its foundation in Tom Myers' Anatomy Trains and James Earls' Born to walk. The myofascial meridians give the map of loading. This map has developed in us because of the loading of the movement that we most commonly do. This map needs to be trained as a whole, but we also need to be able to understand it’s individual connections.

AT in Training includes discussions and practical exercises for overall exercise programming and singular exercise building for different individuals. Additionally, how to warm up for the exercise and at the same time improves neuro-myofascial performance while minimizing injuries. It doesn’t matter if you are a Personal Trainer, Physical Educator, Yoga Teacher, Medical Doctor, Athlete Coach, Pilates Teacher, Fitness Instructor, Bodyworker, Massage Therapist, Medical Doctor specialized in Sports, Physiotherapist, Osteopath or anyone in a movement and exercise field, AT in Training will give you a new perspective on how to look at movement, exercise and training.

Exercising is Medicine: Unfortunately, often it isn't. One of the issues is how we move yet we need to move and exercise to be able to stay healthy. Most injuries in the musculoskeletal system are due to our own postural and movement habits. If we move with those habits, then movement or exercise isn't medicine; it's enhancing the possibility for injuries because of increased loading and repetitions. Anatomy Trains in Training is about balanced movement, enhancing the model of neural stability, which is applicable for local isolated and lifting exercises, into dynamic control of Global movement.

Our body has developed for minimum energy principle for over 4 million years; this has been crucial for our survival and crucial for the fuel to meet the demand of consumption. Concentrically driven movement requires more energy than isometrically driven movement. Concentrically driven movement is lifting. It's maximum load strategy; we need it when the load is too high for swinging or shifting movement.
