Assessing Progressions

This workshop will teach you to critically think about why and how to progress a client through a certain exercise pattern. You will begin to recognize 'families' of exercises and learn what to look for before moving a client to a more challenging progression. Sometimes a challenge is on a different piece of apparatus and sometimes it is just about the movement itself. We will teach you to look at the body in front of you to decide where to go next!
