Non-Traditional Resistance Training Techniques for Those with Physical Limitations

In this session Robert will introduce the five movement components that every workout should incorporate and some non-traditional resistance training lifts that allow clients with physical limitations the ability to perform without pain. Osteoporosis and Arthritis are two of the greatest concerns for those who do not participate in resistance training. In most cases, this is due to an injury or physical limitation that is exacerbated by the more traditional lifting exercises. With slight modifications (“rigging” if you will) these lifts can produce great results in a pain free fashion.
