This pre-recorded call takes a deeper dive into the breath and how we manage pressure and why this is so important. I explain about tension and compression and why and how the diaphragm is so integral in our ability to distribute pressure. I discuss some common problems with a one size fits all approach to breathing and give alternative possibilities that may work more effectively depending on someone’s unique structure and compensations. I discuss how to implement these concepts in our primary movement patterns, including the hinge and squat. I take an audience participant through a live coaching session helping them to feel better pressure management in a squat, using some simple cues and constraints and I explain why this is so effective. We end with some live Q and A. If you are a movement professional, this is an essential call to begin to understand just how important the breath and an inside out approach is and how you can communicate and apply these concepts effectively with your clients so you create immediate buy-in and results.

This pre-recorded call is all about how to integrate the concepts from the 5 Day Fundamentals into someone's programming. I give exercise examples and talk about how they can be used as a warm up, main lift, or accessory work. I take you through structuring a full workout and give away a full workout using the concepts for you to try in your own body and with your clients so you can see how powerful the fundamentals can be. The live Q and A ends with Lana, who is an audience participant, who really struggles to get a full inhale and exhale because of her rib cage compression. I discuss why certain positions may actually amp up her nervous system and how we can alter her position and breath strategy. You will get the opportunity to witness a powerful outcome that can only come from critical thinking and seeing Lana as a unique individual with specific needs. If you are a coach who is truly interested in providing a unique approach and knows that the body is complex then I think you will find this an incredible resource.

Panel discussion with movement professionals that are in the Empowered Performance Community and use the concepts with their clients so you can understand how they integrate the concepts.
