Core strength and balance go hand in hand. Learn the key concepts, strategies, and exercises for helping your active senior clients develop both fitness aspects.
Upon completion of this Functional Core and Balance program, you will:
Understand why core and balance training is so important for senior clients.
Recognize the value of functional exercise within a fitness program.
Know the strategies that deliver greater core and balance gains.
Be able to develop an effective functional core and balance training program.
Learn how to modify a core and balance program based on a client’s unique needs.
As we age, balance issues can develop. This increases the risk of falls, which can threaten an older person’s independence. Learning how to help this demographic build their core and improve their balance can be incredibly beneficial, even affecting their quality of life.
When training fitness clients, you can offer functional core and balance training as a standalone service or you can incorporate the exercises and strategies learned in this course into your current training programs.
If you choose to offer functional core and balance training as a standalone service, you can create a one-size-fits-most training program for all your older clients. This enables you to target your exercises to this demographic, resulting in a training approach that takes into consideration their unique challenges and needs.
Another option is to use what you learn in this course to develop customized one-on-one functional core and balance training programs. Create a specialized plan for individual clients based on their physical condition and fitness goals. Either approach enables trainers to earn extra income by offering increasing their service offerings.
You can also add functional core and balance exercises to your current training programs. This shows your older clients that you care about them enough to learn the training strategies and skills that apply directly to them, giving them just one more reason to choose you as their personal trainer.
