    Functional Core for Women: Targeted Training for Glutes and Abs helps you work with women of all fitness levels to improve strength and body aesthetics with an original and effective approach to training and reshaping the core muscles.

    2022 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year Kia Williams sets the stage by breaking down the core’s anatomy to show how the abs and glutes work together and which muscles are best targeted for discernible change. Next, learn how to work with your clients to establish goals, then develop a training program that helps strengthen and engage these major muscle groups.

    Functional Core for Women demonstrates more than 45 ab and glute exercises that improve physique, function, and strength. Derived from a variety of disciplines—including traditional weight training, Pilates, barre, and yoga—the exercises feature step-by-step instructions, variations, equipment options, safety cues, and progressions and regressions. You’ll also find 6 sample workouts, along with the guidance you need to create and customize programs for each client you work with.

    After reading the ebook, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.
