Functional training trends have unleashed what appears to be a surge in inappropriate exercise applications and progressions. In reality, training variables can be manipulated in both a forward and backward direction to benefit exercisers. When a Regression Is Really a Progression explains how personal trainers and group-exercise instructors can regress the exercises that they employ in their classes to enable their clients to be successful, as well as to build a more stable foundation for individual client development.
Among topics covered:
