Body Weight Trainer's Certification
Steve Maxwell's Bodyweight Certification is based on the principles of proper
bio-mechanical alignment and technique for all the major pushing, pulling, squatting and
low back/core exercises used in bodyweight exercise as resistance.
This is a
teaching and coaching course, in that there are no performance requirements outside of
demonstrating a knowledge of proper technique. The primary concern is teaching
candidates progressive loading using bodyweight as the load.
Each exercise has many modifications, so that even the person with low
strength-to-weight ration and the de-conditioned can greatly benefit. Particular emphasis is placed on:
wrist, elbow, shoulders and knees, the main problem areas for people using bodyweight exercises.
