Splash! Aquatic bootcamp for better living on land

Discover how to pump up your intensity progressively, based on your participant’s readiness, ability and functional goals. During this workshop, you’ll learn simple mobility assessments, and then practice a broad range of skills, that target individual needs, preferences and abilities. Two pool practice sessions include progression building, from low to higher intensity, using both loaded (grounded) and unloaded (suspended) exercises. Gain some “surf to turf ” programming tools to check progress, to motivate, and to inspire your participants to adopt an active- lifestyle “stick to it” habit that nurtures wellness.

You’ll be able to:

• Identify mobilityand balance limitations as well as barriers to exercise to zero in on effective exercise designs in response.

• Practice a broad range of intensity progressions while responding to individual needs within a group-fitness class setting.

• Identify evidence-based exercises that target specific land- based functional goals shared commonly by older adults.

• Experience how depth changes can affect intensity, joint compression, axial load, training objectives and exercise design.

• Discover some “surf to turf ” homework exercises from new studies and specific “upper core” progressive exercises, especially important for shoulder and neck pain and/or dysfunction.
