Resistance Training Instruction: Lower Body Video (Copyright 2001) (VHS)

Resistance Training Instruction: Lower Body demonstrates exercises from the hip down. Since the hip's primary function is to work with the knee and ankle during compound movements, numerous variations of squats, presses, and lunges are presented. Several exercises that isolate lower-body movements are also included, as these more specific exercises may be equally important for accomplishing a variety of goals. Developed and hosted by resistance-training expert Everett Aaberg, the Resistance Training Instruction Video Series walks trainers through the steps of instructing clients during resistance training. The videos demonstrate the proper techniques for the participant and proper instructional methods for the fitness professional. The three videos, which cover the lower body, trunk, and upper body, allow trainers to watch and learn the proper exercise and training techniques for all of the exercises in the book Resistance Training Instruction and many more exercises not included in the book. Targeted muscles are identified for each exercise, providing trainers with information about functional anatomy. Plus, a time-coded program log makes it easy to find specific exercises. With the Resistance Training Instruction Video Series, you will learn how to teach resistance training so that your clients use the proper techniques to get the most out of their exercises.
