The new Functional Fitness Charts are coming together quite nicely. The pictures for each set have been taken, our editor is working on the teacher's manual and our designer is working diligently to edit and crop images for the charts. We are excited to get the charts out to schools!
All of the exercises included in the Functional Fitness Charts have been safety reviewed by Dr. Stuart McGill, a highly regarded professor of spine biomechanics at the University of Waterloo in Canada and a man who has been recently referred to in Maclean's Magazine as "the man who wants to kill crunches." Dr. McGill has been instrumental in the development and selection of each of the exercises included in our new series of fitness charts.
Our new charts focus on functional fitness training principles and provide teachers and coaches with a comprehensive package to implement well-rounded core training routines (in circuit, stage training or traditional "reps and sets") with over 300 safe and effective exercises to select from.
If you are currently doing functional or core training exercises with your students or sports teams, be sure to read this article from the New York Times: "Is Your Ab Workout Hurting Your Back?". The article includes some great tips from Dr. McGill on how to perform core exercises safely.
Functional or core circuit training is no longer just about doing a couple of sit-ups. Proper functional or core training should include a wide variety of effective and safety-reviewed exercises, that can be modified for all levels of fitness.
