CECs: ACE .8 NASM 1.9 Fee: $299 BAX™ High Intensity Training Meets Myofascial Release with Robert Steinbacher ✓ Thursday, April 14th 9am-5pm and Monday, April 18th 9am-5pm BAX is an advanced performance-training program that was created by Robert Steinbacher and is based on the holistic principles of Yin and Yang. The two opposing but mutual conditional forces must be in balance with each other according to the teaching of traditional Chinese medicine, so that the energy and the body can flow freely. The workout is an innovative concept of high- intensity performance training (Yang) that combines with Myofascial exercises (Yin). The high intensity side, YANG, focuses more on the external training representing power, while YIN focuses on the internal training of the muscles which represent myofascial training. BAX concentrates on coordination and functional training with the aim to achieve an ideal enhancement for each target group and sport-type and thereby compensating the external for the internal. Breathing is of the utmost importance in BAX which helps to create a synergy between physical and mental fitness thus leading to overall enhanced performance.

Fee: $225 CHEK Institute: Program Design with Dan Hellman Monday, April 18th 9am-5:30pm ✓ Exercise is like a drug; given in the right quantities at the right time, it can help a person. In the wrong quantities at the wrong time it can hurt the same person.

This seminar is designed to teach you to do just that! You will learn how to combine and manipulate acute exercise variables; not just reps and sets, but also loads, tempo and rest periods. Periodization concepts are covered and case histories are used as illustrations, bringing real-life examples to help you understand these critical factors.
