The ActivCore™ educational program teaches certified performance and wellness professionals to utilize a controlled, unstable environment to engage deep stabilizing muscles for maximim strength, balance & agility.
ActivCore Course Descriptions
ActivCore Suspension Fundamentals I
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of the ActivCore suspension exercise system and the benefits of controlled instability to the neuromuscular system, specifically, the unique attributes of a dual suspension system. Suspension Exercise I teaches the exercises that serve as the foundation of the repertoire, which must be mastered before progressing. Exercises target core strength, inner joint stability, proper biomechanics, balance, flexibility and coordination. Upon completion of this course, students will be ready to incorporate ActivCore suspension exercises into their practice and teach group classes or privates. In total, over 50 exercises (including regressions and progressions) are taught with three group class templates provided.
ActivCore Suspension Fundamentals II
Prerequisite: ActivCore Suspension Fundamentals I
This course builds on the first suspension exercise course by introducing over 50 more exercises (including regressions and progressions) and providing three more group class templates as well as further applications for integrating ActivCore into private lessons. The benefits of controlled instability to the neuromuscular system are reviewed so students truly understand how to utilize the system. Additionally, students learn how to design fluid, functional workouts for their private or group clients, with special attention given to how to link exercises and create smooth transitions between them. Finally, students learn the basics of the off-weighting system with bungees, which is the hallmark of the ActivCore system. Students complete the course ready to intensify the client experience on ActivCore safely and effectively.
ActivCore Suspension Progressions I
Prerequisite: ActivCore Suspension Fundamentals I & II
The Progressions I course targets both ends of the ActivCore spectrum: the easy and the hard! Students learn modifications and off-weighting techniques to help clients use the right muscle in the right amount at the right time to address muscle imbalances and biomechanical abnormalities. Students learn to make professional judgments regarding when off-weighting is necessary and when another modification is appropriate. ActivCore exercises that utilize one and two suspension systems will be covered, increasing the variety available to the instructor for both group class and private applications. With the over 30 new exercises introduced in Progressions I, students learn exercises for their more advanced clients, building safely and effectively on the foundations of core strength, inner joint stability, flexibility and balance learned in the ActivCore Suspension Exercise I & II.
ActivCore Suspension Progressions II
Prerequisite: ActivCore Suspension Fundamentals I & II, Suspension Progressions I
Continuing to build on both ends of the ActivCore system, this course helps students master off-weighting techniques and begin using the off-weighting system to address clients’ post-rehab needs. On the other end of the spectrum, over 30 challenging exercises are taught to expand upon the core strength, stability, power, balance and flexibility gained in the Progressions I course. Thus, ActivCore instructors will be equipped to insure clients continue to see overall physical, neuromuscular and biomechanical gains. Special attention is given to how to intensify exercises without necessarily making the exercise harder to guarantee client safety and success, while meeting each individual at his/her edge.
ActivCore Suspension Post-Rehab I
Prerequisite: ActivCore Suspension Exercise I & II, Suspension Progressions I & II
This course prepares students to use the ActivCore system to help clients in the post-rehab environment. Post-Rehab I teaches the fundamentals of injury/special condition protocol, specifically as it pertains to the ActivCore system, as well as practical exercises for the lumbar spine, pelvic girdle, hip, knee, ankle and foot. Students will learn advanced off-weighting and grading techniques, as well as how to add intensity to each and every exercise. Emphasis will be placed on muscle testing and exercise protocol, most specifically progressing and regressing exercises. This course is recommended for use with workstations or Activation stations with two sets of trainers.
ActivCore Suspension Post-Rehab II
Prerequisite: ActivCore Suspension Exercise I & II, Suspension Progressions I & II, ActivCore Post-Rehab I
Building on Post-Rehab I, Post-Rehab II addresses the cervical spine, shoulder girdle, elbow, wrist and hand. Both closed kinetic and open kinetic chain exercises will be taught. Post-Rehab II will emphasize the importance of the stability of the lumbo-pelvic hip complex as the strong foundation upon which to work on the stability and strength of the upper quadrant. Additionally, students will continue to build upon the off-weighting and grading techniques learned in Post-Rehab I and apply them to exercises for the upper body. Emphasis will be placed on muscle testing and exercise protocol, most specifically progressing and regressing exercises. This course is recommended for use with workstations or Activation stations with two sets of trainers.
ActivCore Suspension Challenges I
Prerequisite: ActivCore Suspension Exercise I & II, Suspension Progressions I & II
Time to increase strength, stamina and power! Students learn how to use ActivCore’s unique double suspension system (meaning four possible suspension points) to create the ideal combination of controlled instability to challenge the body’s strength and control. Over 30 exercises challenge coordination, stability, strength and core for a full body strength training workout. For both group classes and privates, emphasis is placed on workout templates featuring specialized, targeted sequencing to focus either on core, cardio circuit, strength, or total body fitness.
ActivCore Suspension Challenges II
Prerequisite: ActivCore Suspension Exercise I & II, Suspension Progressions I & II, Suspension Challenges I
Suspension Challenges II offers the ultimate in strength training, targeting core strength, control, balance and flexibility. Exercise pairings (super sets) are introduced to further test the limits of strength, control, and total body integration. Over 30 new exercises are introduced in an additional 4 workout templates for group classes or privates featuring additional specialized, targeted sequencing to take clients to new levels of fitness.
