WHAT IS YOUR FITNESS PHILOSOPHY?
Knowing is essential. Physical activity education is necessary to meet
your objectives. It is best to do things right
or not do them at all.
(Editor’s note: What else do you expect from a Swiss?)
WHAT IS YOUR
APPROACH TO FITNESS?
- Measure how
much an individual is capable of doing.
- Explain the sport
or the level of activity required.
- Prepare for competition
by sparing the joints and enhancing performance.
- Control speed
and power. Use them at the right time.
WHAT
ARE YOUR 5 STEPS TO A BETTER FOUNDATION?
1. Assess and identify incorrect patterns.
2. Identify the cause.
3. Prescribe corrective exercises.
4. Build whole body and joint stability to meet
the demands of the sport.
5. Increase endurance without getting tired.
6. Build strength while sparing the joints and
maximizing neuromuscular activity.
7. Develop speed, power and agility.
YOUR APPROACH TO THE SPINE IS UNIQUE,
PLEASE EXPLAIN
Spine stability is a widely
misunderstood topic and its concept is often misused. Most of the time
exercises are done on the assumption that they will help athletes reinforce
their back, but in fact it is the opposite that happens.
In other words,
this means that the spine position is a paramount component of risk of injuries
or safety.
Too much
exercising can be HARMFUL for the back.
WHAT IS THE ACE FITNESS APPROACH TO PHYSICAL
FITNESS?
It is set on two basic
principles: spine stability and hip mobility. To
increase performance, we need to spare the spine from counterproductive stress
and create good muscular activation and posture. Ultimately this will ensure
the best biomechanics-friendly training.
