Improving the strength of the trunk
The long-term goal must therefore be to strengthen the muscles, especially the abdominal, back and leg muscles. Targeted, strengthening exercises can be implemented as early as possible on the basis of improved body awareness.
In this unit, a test to determine core strength is presented and practiced. Based on the test results, different exercises with variations are shown and how these can be methodically incorporated into a long-term training process. Correct execution, the most important coaching points and common sources of error are also discussed. In addition to the correct selection and intensity of exercises, the regularity of training is also important.
Another focus is on improving the strength endurance of the trunk. In particular, Nordic walking is introduced and the positive effects on back health are explained. The advantages of Nordic walking are obvious: not only is the strength endurance of the trunk trained, but general well-being is also increased and basic fitness is promoted - all with the least possible strain on joints, tendons and ligaments. In order to really achieve the positive effects, the correct Nordic walking technique and how to teach it to future customers is taught.
