A word about our dance, choreography based cardio and step training sessions:
Not all sessions are appropriate for all levels. Some sessions are presented to demonstrate just how far a seasoned master instructor can take a seasoned master class of attendees. Some of us teach to advanced level participants; others do not. Some of us need the most elemental breakdown for our mixed level classes, others teach to uniform, well trained advanced clients.
Find the right sessions for you and your goals! Use our session selection concierges! Call 516- 432-6877 or e-mail carol@ecaworldfitness.com at the ECA office. We offer first hand knowledge and explanation and can help guide you when making your session selections so that you can get the most from your convention experience!
To assist you further, we have also coded the dance, choreography based cardio and step training sessions by level and focus. Some sessions are what we term “Monday morn i n g ready”; these sessions will teach methodology, breakdown and modifications. Some sessions are coded “choreography intensive”; these are more complexly choreographed for a more homogenous experienced participant and you will need the skill to be able to modify these sessions on your own for you to bring it home. And finally “Inspirational”; these sessions are for your benefit and delight. They are YOUR workout to challenge YOU and are there to inspire you to reach and excel. They are not meant to be “taken home” and you shouldn't worry about choreography notes or duplicating this workout exactly, as it is meant to inspire your own creativity. So, there you have it. Call us with questions, we only want to help and give you the best experience possible!
For Dance, Step Training and Choreography based Cardio Sessions:
Level I - beginner (little or no experience-under one year)
Level II - intermediate (2 -5 years experience)
Level III - advanced (5 or more years in the subject)
Focus I - monday morning ready

CHEK INSTITUTE: Controversy and Current Concepts of Pulling Exercises (lecture)
Mark Stone
One of the C.H.E.K Institute’s most popular presentations, this lecture has been fully revised and updated with current research. Pulling exercises such as the low row, lat. pull-down, and bent-over row can cause injury to back, necks and shoulders if not performed correctly, yet frequently there is a lack of technical expertise in administering these exercises. This presentation will clarify the biomechanical, kinesiological, kinematic and neurophysiological foundations behind the technical guidelines for these exercises. Learn why a behind-the-head lat. pull-down places extreme stress on the cervical spine and shoulder. Understand how to assess proper muscle recruitment during rowing exercises. The current trend of scapular fixation during pulling exercises will be critically analyzed and neuromuscular implications presented.
