Spartan Training Club Kiama is back for 2015

Put simply, the FMS is a ranking and grading system that documents movement patterns that are key to normal function. By screening these patterns, the FMS readily identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. These are issues that can reduce the effects of functional training and physical conditioning and distort body awareness.

The FMS generates the Functional Movement Screen Score, which is used to target problems and track progress. This scoring system is directly linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns.

Exercise professionals monitor the FMS score to track progress and to identify those exercises that will be most effective to restore proper movement and build strength in each individual.

The FMS simplifies the concept of movement and its impact on the body. Its streamlined system has benefits for everyone involved – individuals, exercise professionals, and physicians.

Communication – The FMS utilizes simple language, making it easy for individuals, exercise professionals, and doctors to communicate clearly about progress and treatment.

Evaluation – The screen effortlessly identifies asymmetries and limitations, diminishing the need for extensive testing and analysis.

Standardization – The FMS creates a functional baseline to mark progress and provides a means to measure performance.

Safety – The FMS quickly identifies dangerous movement patterns so that they can be addressed. It also indicates an individual’s readiness to perform exercise so that realistic goals can be set and achieved.

Corrective Strategies – The FMS can be applied at any fitness level, simplifying corrective strategies of a wide array of movement issues. It identifies specific exercises based on individual FMS scores to instantly create customized treatment plans.

If you’re not assessing, you’re just guessing

Whether it’s your weight, body fat, strength, quality of movement or anything else you want to improve, you first must assess where you are right now.

Assessment and Goal Setting

It’s an exciting time of year in my industry as people return from the Xmas hibernation with New Year’s Resolutions and stack of motivation to get fit and healthy. The first step in making 2015 the year that you FINALLY make it happen is to Assess where you’re currently at.

 

This week already we have recorded Girth Measurements, Body Fat, Weight as well as  the Functional Movement Screen. Thursday will see the guys perform Strength Testing on some of the major exercises like Push Ups, Chin Ups, Squats and Bench Press. Once we have this data, we’ll sit down together as a group to set some Long Term and Short Term Goals . This is our year!
