Description
Learn with this program that improves functionality for Seniors with water exercise. Research clearly illustrates how movement in H2O will improve ADL’s (activities of daily living). Training in water provides a protective environment which naturally balances the body to easily train posture and balance – a key to aging well. The program includes theoretical and practical testing that will cover how specific H2O exercises will have a positive effect for the aging population including those with common medical conditions. This program is perfect for anyone who would like to work with our senior population.
You will be participating in a variety of presentations from Cindy Cook – the Master Trainer of this event. Additional workshops facilitated by Cindy Cook are:
WATER WALKING (Friday)
Walking is the most used daily activity. Walking and gait training is essential to retaining independence. Train for effective movement, balance and good posture in the water. Keeping the program simple yet strong will challenge all comers from the recreational participant through to the athlete.
PROGRAMMING FOR COMMON MEDICAL CONDITIONS (Friday)
Incorporate safe, effective, and multi-level programming into one group exercise program. Review a balanced program to train all components of fitness within the appropriate exercise inventory of activities of daily living. Learn general guidelines for helping clients with common medical conditions. Modify or progress exercise to help people gain the most out of their program in a pain–free way.
ADVANCING YOUR CAREER TO AQUATIC PERSONAL TRAINING (Saturday) This program will help you to apply advanced scientific principles to individual training whether training for group exercise or ONE on ONE . By understanding a client’s baseline fitness level (via a water assessment, health history screening and goal setting) you will learn how to program more specifically for both shallow and/or deep water depths. We will examine how to progress each exercise utilizing a variety of equipment & techniques. WaterART also offers a full personal training certification for water specific design—this session will give you an idea of the program differences of land and water programming and how unique water training is compared to land.
SPORTS TRAINING & WELCOME TO THE WATERGYM (Saturday)
Developed for both shallow and deep water depths; sports activities may be blended with the water for cross training benefits and variety. If you are not using the water as a training tool, then you are missing the secret to injury prevention. Learn advanced exercises for “tools” to train your high performance athletes or weekend warriors.
