This brand new BOSU® certification gives group fitness instructors and personal trainers new ways to train one of the largest growing populations -- the active aging market. Using the approaches of WHAT, WHY and HOW, you will receive research-based ideas to learn WHAT are the best exercises to teach to Active Agers, WHY certain movement patterns are important, and HOW best to implement these cutting-edge movement patterns and training techniques in group classes and personal training sessions. Understand the four types of age, and learn how to use creative games to build functional strength, face the fear of falling with gait training, practice various ways to get up and down, move more efficiently through the entire kinetic chain, train mental functions, and make daily movements easier to do! While moving through many of the body’s functional positions for activities of daily life, this certification will explore how the BOSU® Balance Trainer can provide assistance, resistance, cushioning and stimulus to amplify the effect.
