Overview

The program focuses on enhancing students' ability to deliver clear and effective instructions for exercise setup and execution, as well as their proficiency in assessing movements.

The program offers a comprehensive collection of exercises for each fundamental movement, organized by difficulty level.

This resource enables fitness practitioners to recommend specific exercises that are most suitable for their clients.
