Over the weekend I attended the ECA Fitness Conference and Expo in Miami Beach, Florida. For two days, I sat in on classes, lectures and workshops that taught me some great new fitness techniques, exercises and routines to tryout with all of my Physical Equilibrium clients. A few highlights from the weekend include:

• The Stability Ball and Body Bar Class – This class taught me new ball and body bar exercises that incorporate bungee bands for extra resistance

• Hydrofit Deep Water Sports Conditioning - This sports specific and athletic conditioning water class is perfect for athletes and fit individuals to cross train and exercise without causing stress to the joints. If you think water aerobics is only for grandma, you are mistaken…this was difficult!

• Bosu Speed, Power and Agility class - Here I learned new techniques to maximize athletic movements on the ball while challenging balance and stability more than usual

• Osteoporosis Lecture – This lecture provided me with some new information on the causes of Osteoperosis, prevention strategies and exercises to combat osteoporosis

• Targeted Cardiovascular Training – Here I learned how to better assess and design programs for maximum cardiovascular training

• SAFE Kettlebell Training - This class provided a refresher on how to teach proper kettlebell form and technique

Watch out clients, I’ll be trying out these new exercises and workouts on you all soon!!!!!
