Strength Training is a must for the athlete who wants to
increase power, strength, speed, agility.
Body
strength is particularly important in order for you to prevail
over the physical challenges that may accompany cancer and
such cancer treatments as surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.
Upper body strength is a must and many school programs incorporate
testing and the development of it in tailored programs for
kids in their school systems.
One effective way of testing and developing upper body strength
is to get back to basics and incorporate pull ups and chin
ups on a wall mounted chin up bar installed into your gym.
Upper body strength is the foundation to build power &
is needed for all young athletes.
Total body strength is the key for such an athlete and there
is no better exercise than the full back squat.
Upper body strength is critical to developing a good golf
swing as the upper body provides a player with power.
Leg
strength is very important for all sports and there are
few sports where upper body strength is more important than
lower body.
Obviously, lower body strength is important as you will
be walking and using your legs to steer your skis or snowboard
downhill.

Core
Strength Training and Athletic Performance
Because
the muscles of the trunk and torso stabilize the
spine from the pelvis to the neck and shoulder,
they allow the transfer of powerful movements of
the arms and legs.
All
powerful movements originate from the center of
the body out, and never from the limbs alone. Before
any powerful, rapid muscle contractions can occur
in the limbs, the spine must be solid and stable
and the more stable the core, the most powerful
the extremities can contract.

CORE STRENGTH TRAINING
Athletes
have found that core strengthening and stabilization improves
their level of performance. Health professionals have
found that chronic back pain has been successfully treated
by developing the core muscles including the diaphragm,
transverse abdominus, multifidus, and pelvic floor muscles.
These muscles surround and support the spine, providing
the body it's "natural" back brace. Atrophy
of these muscles can lead to a variety of musculoskeletal
disorders.
Everybody
recognize that body strength is the foundation of
all movement. But few people know that body strength
is the result of strong "core muscles".
To
help you develop natural core strength, our fitness
program "Body Strength" can be used to develop
individualized exercise programs according to your
fitness need.

HOW
TO PRACTICE CORE EXERCISES
Abdominals
get all the credit for protecting the back and being the
foundation of strength, but they are only a small part
of what makes up the core. In fact, it is weak and unbalanced
core muscles that are linked to low back pain. Weak core
muscles result in a loss of the appropriate lumbar curve
and a swayback posture. Stronger, balanced core muscles
help maintain appropriate posture and reduce strain on
the spine.
We
have designed "Body Strength" to build your
body from your core muscles. How? The main exercises are
based on circular hip movements which alternated with
upper and lower strengthening, keeps your body in constant
motion challenging your core muscles.
