Resistance Training Instruction DVD: Trunk

Resistance Training Instruction: Trunk focuses on strengthening and developing the trunk and core muscles. The core muscles, or “inner unit,” work interdependently with the outer abdominal and oblique musculature to stabilize the spine and produce a variety of movements. The DVD demonstrates how to correctly perform and instruct numerous resistance and Swiss ball exercises to strengthen the core muscles and trunk region.

Developed and hosted by resistance-training expert Everett Aaberg, the Resistance Training Instruction DVD Series walks trainers through the steps of instructing clients during resistance training. The DVDs demonstrate the proper techniques for the participant and proper instructional methods for the fitness professional.

The three DVDs, which cover the lower body, trunk, and upper body, allow trainers to watch and learn the proper exercise and training techniques for all of the exercises in the book Resistance Training Instruction and many more exercises not included in the book.

Targeted muscles are identified for each exercise, providing trainers with information about functional anatomy. Plus, a time-coded program log makes it easy to find specific exercises.

With the Resistance Training Instruction DVD Series, you will learn how to teach resistance training so that your clients use the proper techniques to get the most out of their exercises.

Human Kinetics DVDs are coded for universal playback and can be played in all regions of the world.
