1 BALANCE & STRENGTH ON THE BIG BLUE STABILITY CUSHION page 1 CORE Workshops offer a bridge from what we ve been practicing in STOTT PILATES and the world of high-level Performance Training. The CORE program is all about training intelligently and focusing on form, execution, and excellence in coaching and cueing. There is a strong emphasis on teaching proper biomechanics and progressing athletes appropriately to help them achieve their goals quickly and effectively. Program Base CORE Workouts include the following components of Athletic Conditioning as the base of the program: Resistance training Balance Training Core Training Plyometric Training Speed Training Agility Training Future Workshops Future CORE workshops and programs will address the needs of specific athletes and cover important topics such as Testing & Evaluation, Program Development & Periodization, and Injury Prevention & Rehabilitation. THE WORKOUT THE WARM UP This workshop focuses on resistance training for the full body, as Spine Stretch Forward well as stability and balance training. This is to mobilize the spine and to use as a review for the principles of alignment. The training emphasis is on challenging all three classifications of muscles, Local and Global Stabilizers, as well as Global Mobilizers. Half Roll Back This is accomplished through many modifications for most of the Discuss how we would start moving from the center and the exercises, including speed variations, level changes, direction benefits of working that way. Ie. Move from a place of power. changes, and support changes. Lateral Flexion During the workshop we use light handweights for demonstration This exercise adds another plane of movement, in this case Frontal and practical purposes. For many of the exercises heavy weights or Plane. Discuss the importance of designing workouts that move in different types of resistance can be substituted. The main point is all three planes, especially for athletes. to keep in mind the goal of the exercise and the overall goal of Spine Twist the training and choose the resistance, speed, etcetera with that Continuing to move in multiple planes and adding the Cushion goal in mind. for challenge. Use this exercise to review the principle of head Part 1 of the workout is the warm up and is designed to prepare and neck placement with regards to athletes. It is important to the body for the work to come and to bring awareness to the train athletes with the STOTT PILATES Five Basic Principles, but different types of movements in the exercises later on. also to keep in mind that many sports require that the athlete turn their head in opposing directions to the rest of their body. For each exercise or set of exercises, the first round is meant to be performed slowly and with control to activate and train the level Use this exercise to explore that and discuss the various sports and one and two muscles, review technique and proper ROM (range the differences. Golf: looking at a fixed object, Tennis: watching a of motion) and biomechanics. moving object. This is also a great exercise to vary speed and talk about the differences in muscle fiber usage as well as changes in Rounds two and / or three are meant to be varied to challenge ability to balance. the level two and three muscles more effectively. However, at no time, are the level one muscles to be ignored. Purity of movement Adding the Toe Lift challenges balance and stability. Keep in mind and proper alignment are a part of every exercise and every that Pilates Instructors have muscle memory and typically have repetition. If an exercise is not being performed correctly, consider difficulty with the head position challenges. It would be different changes that will help bring about the desired form. for athletes the challenging would be turning the head in line with the spine instead. Keep in mind with Resistance Training programs, sets, reps, and rest periods are determined by the goal of the training session and ultimately the goals of the athlete. CORE Athletic Conditioning & Performance Training
2 page 2 Kneeling Squat with Shoulder Press Side Squat Series This series is to warm up the legs. 1, 2, and 3 are all in the same This series is meant to progress from one exercise to the next position, varying lever length (arms) and adding balance and before changing sides. These are to be taught in a fluid, stability challenges (lifting one foot) continuing set from one variation to the next. Begin with going from a stable surface to a combined stable / unstable surface. The last variation can be performed with the foot plantar flexed Progress to staying with one foot on a stable surface and one or with the foot dorsiflexed and toes tucked under depending on foot on an unstable surface (Side Squat with Shoulder Press), comfort. The further the hinge back is, the more you are progress to moving onto the unstable surface with assistance focusing on the pecs and the less you are focusing on the (Side Squat with Tap), progress to more of a balance challenge shoulders. This is a great opportunity to talk about the pull of (Add Knee Lift), and progress to adding rotation, moving in gravity and how changing the position of the body will effect multiple planes while balancing (Side Squat Knee Lift what muscles / fibers are targeted. with Rotation). THE EXERCISES Repeat the series and progression on each side and then go back Sit-up with Chest Press to the first side and repeat numbers 3, 4, and 5 changing the The prep is mainly for abs vary the speed to challenge level focus. The exercise will start on top of the Cushion and there will three fibers. not be a pause on the floor. Get as close to a depth plyo as possible. Focusing on power as FULL: Discuss the various ways of doing this exercise depending well as agility and balance. on the goal. Varying the resistance, heavier for strength training. Varying the speed, faster for power training. Discuss head Then add more agility challenge by telling them when to stop. placement, for this exercise it s best if the focus remains forward Vary how many repetitions you have them do before stopping for the best neck alignment, particularly when varying the speed. them. This is an example of closed agility training. Sit-Up with Knee Lift Side-Lying Series UNILATERAL: Work on movement pattern before adding This exercise progression is an opportunity to work on balance in power. Discuss opposition work of arm and leg and how that is a a different position. Each person should be positioned so that very athletic movement pattern example baseball pitcher. their upper body is flexed over the Cushion. This will allow for more lat engagement during the exercise and more oblique BOW & ARROW: Teach this as a boxer type punch. Adding ROM. The exercises progress to increased lever work and less rotation and keeping eye focus forward on opponent. Talk stability. Complete all exercises in the series before switching about the muscular emphasis when adding rotation. to the other side. Lunge Unilateral Back Row / Plank Use this exercise to explore variations in speed, a slow eccentric These exercises are very challenging and should first be followed by a fast concentric using the Cushion as a performed on a stable surface. Review the principles of the proprioceptive prop. Also, push into the Cushion on the descent upper quadrant (scap, shoulder, elbow, wrist, forearm, and hand) and explode up, using power. Discuss the concept of Plyometric before having everyone do the exercise. Give the option of training here. resting on the forearm. Be sure to talk about the limited ROM in Lunge with Arm Work this position. Keep the reps to a minimum and switch sides after We are using this exercise to discuss the difference between each variation. static and dynamic muscle engagement. Discuss the concept of Back & Shoulder Work isometric contraction here. Also discuss how increasing the These exercises are meant to complete the full body work. amount resistance you use for your upper body also determines Adding flexion and extension as well as rotation to round out how much resistance your lower body is using. We are also the muscle usage. Pay attention to cervical alignment. These coordinating upper and lower body movements. Level three exercises should not be performed with speed. muscles are the coordinators of movement. Lunge with Shoulder Raise THE COOL DOWN In this exercise we are changing the focus from stationary lunges Side Stretch / Full Body Stretch to movement lunges and adding the Cushion for added stability These are the cool down exercises. challenge. Discuss how you would progress a client from a stable surface first with no added resistance, to added resistance, and then to an unstable surface with no resistance and then finally to this exercise. Also review the concept of changing the trajectory of the energy. Once your foot hits the Cushion, you want to send the energy down and not continue to send it forward or you will roll off of the Cushion.
