Loving it!
I have been a keen subscriber to the “Of-Courseonline” courses over the last year or two. Firstly I find it really convenient and cost-effective to learn online. The way the courses are presented feels very interactive. The online courses and the printable booklets are jam-packed with a lot of relevant, up to date, research based information, All the guidelines for Pilates/body movement teachers are laid out in a logical and clear manner. The suggested exercises are clearly described and supported by visuals. But true to the OF-Courseonline slogan, “we don’t do boring”, Tanya and Lameez present really refreshing and creative ways to access the muscles and improve movement. The courses are great for new and experienced teachers alike. Keep it coming ladies!
Very helpful
Really in depth course packed with anatomy references, movement considerations and targeted exercises -even though I know a lot about the glut, (I already focus regularly on working the bum in my Pilates classes), this course was a true learning experience. On completing the course I had fresh inspiration for new and interesting exercises, and the knowledge to back up the ‘why & how’ it will help my clients. Because it’s all On Line I can learn, review & revisit anytime…anywhere. Love It! So much easier than taking time off and travelling around the country to attend a course. …Thank you !
Overview
It is challenging to get the Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Maximus stronger and active, because our daily movements don’t allow for much load on the gluteals and they are constantly in an eccentric (lengthened) position. There is an epidemic of inactive gluteals and this is affecting your clients lumbar and hip stability and control. The knock-on effect of weak gluteals is sacroiliac joint instability, lumbar spine instability, knee instability and pelvic instability when performing activities of daily living.
Objectives
This course was designed to teach you, the professional, a glute strengthening focused class that will successfully activate the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius. In this class we take client needs and restrictions into account. You will learn:
- a full glute-focused exercise program
- the compensations that could occur and how to avoid them
- the effective cues used to teach successful glute training
- the use of voice to help the client increase their activation effort
- the modifications required for specific restrictions
- the biomechanics of each exercise
- the value of closed chain training for glute training
- what to do if your client has tight hip flexors and cannot fully extend their hip
- how different restrictions respond differently to the same exercise
