In this session we will look at the importance of performing contralateral movement activities. Often under-utilised, contralateral movements are great for skeletal muscle fibre for sure, but, they’re also highly important for our brains and long term functional capacity. In this session we will look at why performing contralateral activities are a vital cog in your movement programming.

You know them, you love them and of course you program them. The squat is a ubiquitous movement that we see in may different formats in the fitness industry. In fact many people have so many beliefs around this exercise that they may happily “fight” for the technique that they believe in. During the session we will explore and simplify what this movement pattern is and give you the tools to help you help your clients understand their active range of motion and impart the skill of the “squat” to their body and brain. This session may just change the way you look at and coach this movement pattern.

Sometimes as people who ask other people to perform tasks we think we’ve nailed only to look at the performance of our client and not even recognise the activity they’re performing. We suddenly think that this person maybe be a “motor moron” when in fact it could be the way that they interpreted the information and not a fault in them. Think about it, rarely would a client or group class participate perform the move incorrectly open purpose! Using a consistent method of delivery when coaching movement utilising all of the senses can help clients understand “gym jargon” better and have them performing the requested task more accurately. In this session, we will look at a consistent coaching strategy that should help at least most of your clients and group class participants moving more competently.
