Pushing And Pulling Exercises For Upper Body
ZOOM - Thursday, November 10, 6:00 - 8:00 P.M.
Face to Face Practical Sunday November 13, 9:00 - 2:45 P.M. (@ Optimuss Gym, Uniondale NY)
This course will discuss and apply essential biomechanical principles to resistance training exercise. A review of the upper extremity and trunk muscle anatomy and their mechanical ability at various joint angles and lengths will set the basis for hands-on training in the gym.
Learning Objectives:
- Effective manipulation of exercise through the use of joint range of motion and resistance to optimize results.
- Concentric - Isometric and eccentric muscle contraction variation.
- How to use various resistance profiles and joint angles to create an optimal resistance training exercise.
- Understanding muscle response to pushing and pulling exercises.

Optimize Strength Gains
December 11th 10:00am - 1:30pm
Through discussion and practical application of exercise analysis, students will learn how to optimize strength by manipulating an exercise. Students will also be able to answer: If resistance changes throughout the joint motion of an exercise? What affects the ability of a muscle to produce force? If a joint position can enhance or impede muscles' mechanical ability?

Fundamental Principles Of Exercise Mechanics For Optimal Results
ZOOM December 4, 9:00 - 12:30
It is essential to the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system that a personal trainer has the skills to analyze the potential risk of an exercise and allow for the greatest opportunity to provide safe, effective, and efficient resistance training exercise results. This course will introduce concepts that will help the fitness professional understand the difference between “biomimicry” (seeing and doing) and biomechanics.
Learning Objectives:
Understand how to analyze the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of exercise through the use of sound scientific methods and principles
Better understand the effect of inappropriate force application and the potential effect on the musculoskeletal system.
Determine the potential risk or benefit of an exercise

Responsible Decision Making For The Exercise Professional
January 8th 2023 9:00am - 12:30pm
Don't wind up in COURT!
Be very careful what you consider "good form" and "safe exercise"
We will reference lawsuits brought about by clients of Personal Trainers.
Where are your guiding principles you use to train your clients derived from?
How do you ensure you are maximizing beneficial adaptive responses and minimizing the risk of injury or structural failure?
Learning Objectives:
Present a model of exercise analysis that is applicable to any position or movement.
Present a method of deductive thinking that enables the fitness professional the ability to better understand the opportunities as well as the limits inherent to the human body relative to resistance training exercise.
Apply concepts of mechanics, physics, anatomy, physiology and kinesiology to exercise analysis.

Integrative Exercise Specialist Course with Optional Certification
Dates TBD
This is the missing link to the ultimate exercise experience!
This hybrid course consists of virtual and face-to-face classes.
Although there is no denying the importance of a comprehensive understanding of exercise biomechanics, physiology, pathophysiology and exercise science as a fitness professional. The missing link for many exercisers and trainers is a functional understanding of how the mind and our physiological responses are interconnected.
