with Suzi Nevell
Thursday, February 7th 9:00am-6:00pm
New York Marriott Marquis Hotel @1535 Broadway & 45th St.
Effective program design is essential if you really want to achieve results with your clients. Exercise is like a drug; given in the right quantities at the right time, it can help a person. In the wrong quantities at the wrong time it can hurt the same person. A key skill for any fitness or healthcare professional is being able to design an exercise program that will lead to optimal performance for each individual client. This seminar is designed to teach you to do just that! You will learn how to manipulate acute combinations of exercise variables - reps, sets, loads, tempo and rest periods - and understand the implications of changing one variable without considering the others. Periodization concepts and eccentric training considerations are also covered and case histories are used to illustrate the topic with real examples.

New Science Of the Human Body: The MELT Whole-Body Model
Thursday, February 7th 10:00am-4:00pm
The J.C.C. - 334 Amsterdam Avenue @ 76th Street
Do your clients ever mention body tension or pain? Do you have pain? A recent survey of personal trainers and group exercise instructors found that over 88% experience chronic pain. In fact, 80% of all orthopedic injuries are sports or exercise induced. So why is the current fitness model creating so much injury, dysfunction, and chronic pain? Before now the answer was unknown. New research has revealed the root cause of pain in active people-and it is not muscle imbalance, strength, or flexibility-it cannot be resolved with current exercise protocols. Presenter, Sue Hitzmann, has integrated this new science and created an applicable, dynamic model for the fitness industry: the MELT Whole-Body Model. This 5-hour program will explore this model as a foundation for comprehensive assessment and program design. Gain knowledge that will help your clients meet their primary exercise goals and the long-term objectives of maintaining an active, pain-free lifestyle; improving function and posture while preventing injury. For more information about this program, go to the institute section of www.meltmethod.com.
