Ann and Chris Frederick are truly pioneers in fascial research. From their decades of experience and research, not only do they break down the fascial system both anatomically and physiologically, but they also explain its vital role in training and functional movement. They have made it possible, for those who may not be well versed, to have a strong understanding of fascia and its function. \u003c\/i\u003eStretch to Win \u003ci\u003eis an absolute must read for any athlete, trainer, coach, therapist, or instructor. In my opinion, FMT has the potential to bring all elements of training together. With FMT as an additional component to your training, you (or your athletes\/clients) are bound for peak performance. This brilliant second edition also provides a complete fascial mobility assessment (CFMA) that teaches how to self-assess and train for flexibility. The CFMA equips the athlete or trainer with the tools to enhance flexibility and sport-specific mobility, both quickly and exponentially.

Ann and Chris Frederick's knowledge of the fascial system and how stretching affects not one area but the entire fascial net makes reading this book a pleasure and a great learning experience. The self-assessment is very clear and concise, making it easy to follow.

Beyond Motion is designed to combine the worlds of athlete performance and Pilates. Since 2009 Amy and Rick have been recognized as leaders in the industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Amy danced as a child. At 16 she began her fitness career by becoming certified in aerobics and step aerobics. Her passion for fitness fueled her quest for knowledge, and throughout the next two decades she completed instructor training in the Nia Technique, Bellatone, Barre, Zumba (and other dance fitness programs), and yoga. Unfortunately, Amy developed very severe sciatica and back issues. After trying everything to alleviate her discomfort, she discovered Pilates and was instantly hooked: Pilates was the one thing that finally helped heal her pain. She began her Pilates career with Polestar in 2001 and continued her education in a variety of contemporary Pilates methods, including instructor training in MOTR and Bodhi through Balanced Body. In 2016 Amy partnered with the esteemed Pilates Education Institute to create Beyond Motion’s comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training Program. She has been nicknamed \u003ci\u003ethe Teacher’s Teacher\u003c\/i\u003e by her students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 2017 Amy competed in her first figure and bikini competitions through the National Gym Association (NGA), a drug-free bodybuilding organization. At her first competition, she won first place in Figure Debut (first-time competitors), Figure Masters (competitors over 35 years old), and Figure Open (every age and level), and she won second place in Bikini Open. She also earned her pro card (meaning she can compete at the professional level) in figure competitions. In 2018 she competed again on an even larger stage and earned second place and third place in her divisions. Striving to improve herself is just as important to Amy now as it was when she began all those years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRick Lademann\u003c\/b\u003e began working for Al Vermeil and the world champion Chicago Bulls while in his 20s. After three years, he headed to Colorado Springs, where he worked for USA Weightlifting under the care of former Romanian Olympic weightlifter Dragomir Cioroslan. Rick lived on the United States Olympic Training Center campus for two years and was instrumental in developing the junior squad and programming volume numbers for our Olympic athletes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He then further expanded his career when he went to the U.S. Air Force Academy, also in Colorado, to assist the football team with their speed and strength program. During this time, he also worked with the USA Figure Skating team in Colorado Springs.\u003cbr\u003e Next, Rick worked with internationally recognized orthopedic surgeons at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic as the strength and conditioning consultant. At the clinic Rick handled post physical therapy on their professional athletes, including the Colorado Rockies players. This led to the opportunity to become the primary performance coach for baseball player Larry Walker, the only Rockies player to ever win the National League MVP award. Even famed sportswriter Ken Rosenthal noticed a change in Walker’s performance after Rick began his work, stating that the program Rick created made such a difference in Walker’s performance that it was evident from the start of spring training.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rick then served as the strength coach at the University of California at Berkley, where he was instrumental in helping the rugby team win a national championship in 2003.

Imagery and cues are supposed to improve our practice, but sometimes they actually have the opposite effect.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the first part of the book, Franklin and coauthor Alison Wesley dispel the misconceptions surrounding the biomechanics of the pelvis, using an evidence-based scientific perspective to teach how the pelvic bones move. In the second part, readers will apply that knowledge through the practice of 26 asanas (exercises) that are designed to improve pelvic function and yoga technique. The asanas are accompanied by 66 full-color illustrations that clearly show proper technique and bring the exercises to life. Franklin uses his famed Franklin Method, which combines movement, imagery, and touch, to help practitioners learn—or relearn, if necessary—correct techniques to maximize pelvic function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding the Pelvis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e offers a concise, clear, and authoritative treatise on the functioning of the pelvis in yoga.

Beginning with the anatomy of the muscles and bones is critical in order to gain an understanding of the purpose of performing specific stretches and WHY. I especially appreciate the information on the health benefits of movement and stretching. The Four Main Principles are so insightful. Stretching is often a mystery to many people, and these guidelines are important in preparing the user to understand the purpose and function of each stretch.

But sometimes those cues can be vague, misleading, or even anatomically incorrect.

Imagery and cues are supposed to improve our practice, but sometimes they actually have the opposite effect.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the first part of the book, Franklin and coauthor Alison Wesley dispel the misconceptions surrounding the biomechanics of the pelvis, using an evidence-based scientific perspective to teach how the pelvic bones move. In the second part, readers will apply that knowledge through the practice of 26 asanas (exercises) that are designed to improve pelvic function and yoga technique. The asanas are accompanied by 66 full-color illustrations that clearly show proper technique and bring the exercises to life. Franklin uses his famed Franklin Method, which combines movement, imagery, and touch, to help practitioners learn—or relearn, if necessary—correct techniques to maximize pelvic function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding the Pelvis\u003c\/i\u003e offers a concise, clear, and authoritative treatise on the functioning of the pelvis in yoga.

Ann and Chris Frederick are truly pioneers in fascial research. From their decades of experience and research, not only do they break down the fascial system both anatomically and physiologically, but they also explain its vital role in training and functional movement. They have made it possible, for those who may not be well versed, to have a strong understanding of fascia and its function. \u003c\/i\u003eStretch to Win \u003ci\u003eis an absolute must read for any athlete, trainer, coach, therapist, or instructor. In my opinion, FMT has the potential to bring all elements of training together. With FMT as an additional component to your training, you (or your athletes\/clients) are bound for peak performance. This brilliant second edition also provides a complete fascial mobility assessment (CFMA) that teaches how to self-assess and train for flexibility. The CFMA equips the athlete or trainer with the tools to enhance flexibility and sport-specific mobility, both quickly and exponentially.

The self-assessment is very clear and concise, making it easy to follow. By using this assessment, instructions along with photos, and explanations about different stretching methods and tempo, you can tailor-make a program that will have a real effect on your training and\/or daily living. The other great thing about this book is that Chris Frederick also has posted videos of the programs to help with better understanding of the movements.

From national aerobic champion to a star in the iconic Abs of Steel video series, movement master Scott Cole shifted into softer and slower forms of exercise decades ago, creating the Discover Tai Chi series in 2002. Now 65, Cole says, “The proof is in the tai chi pudding. I feel flexible, strong, limber, mobile, and balanced. I have zero joint pain, and I want to share these easy-to-follow insights and exercises with everyone!” His\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eDiscover Tai Chi video series has sold over one million copies, and the single title of \u003ci\u003eDiscover Tai Chi for Balance and Mobility\u003c\/i\u003e video has been his top seller for the last 12 years.
