Date: Thursday 21 November 2024
Time: 17h00–19h00
Goal
After the course, each participant will be able to:
- Understand basic mobility requirements for military personnel;
- Know how to mobilize and strengthen 3 major joints of the body (upper back, shoulder and hips); and
- Participate in a functional training circuit.
Who is this course for
This cause is primarily aimed at all sport and fitness enthusiasts over the age of 18 who are motivated to learn more on how to move their body efficiently and how to use that mobility in their everyday job and life. Experience in sport and fitness is recommended (variants will be provided for beginners).
While primarily aimed at reservists, space permitting, other individuals over 18 years old can also attend. The course is conducted in English, so participants must have a good command of spoken and written English. No translation is provided.
Content
During the workshop, all participants will learn why they should treat their military profession with an athlete mentality. Participants will learn about the 3 main joints and their mechanics. They undergo a panel of mobility tests to assess their current conditions and will experience a mobility routine tailored to those needs. This routine includes stretching, corrective exercises, active mobility movement, and myofascial release exercises. A segment will be dedicated to a functional training session. Check-in starts at 16:30. The course runs from 17:00 to 19:00.
