This episode is brought to you by HITuni, HITuni have partnered with Bill DeSimone to launch a new course Functional Training: A biomechanics approach to integrating FT with HIT. The course demonstrates joint stabilization techniques, that are a must to enhance muscle stimulation in intermediate and advanced clients. Adding corrective movements and stretching to the mix will address the muscle imbalances and postural deficits many individuals suffer from. Finally, integrated movements and power plyometrics can be used to create more challenging programmes for athletes and advanced trainees.
Bill DeSimone, the biomechanics expert in our community, demystifies, distils and refines Functional Training, eliminating the ineffective and dangerous. What is presented is the legitimate, the biomechanically-sound, joint-friendly and workout-enhancing elements of Functional Training that assimilate perfectly with the HIT model.
You will learn how to use stabilization techniques, corrective movements, integrated movements, power plyometric exercises, recovery techniques and how, when and with whom to adapt a classic HIT routine into various HIT-Functional Training hybrid routines.
