The Perform Better Seminar: Awesome Experience

The Perform Better Seminar: Awesome Experience

I just got back from Long Beach, CA where I attended the Perform Better Seminar. It is predominately attended by personal trainers, but I wanted to go to learn the information on corrective exercise, stability, core work, and things of that sort. The seminar also helped me meet people that are personal trainers and helped me decide which certification I should get to help with my Chiropractic career. I am currently working towards my Certification of Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and think this will be a good starting point to understanding how to enhance performance.

However, the reason I attended the seminar was to look more at the ways I can help my future patients. I gained a better understanding the musculoskeletal system, the functional movements, and how to optimize health and performance through certain exercises. The main points I took away from the speakers was to make sure there is mobility, then into work into static and dynamic stability, then work on the core, then move onto strength and resistance. I learned so much this weekend that that last statement is only the tip of the iceberg of what I learned.

The hands on are done in a big convention center room.

My next few blogs will be divided into different topics of important and interesting topics that i learned that I want to share with those in a condensed manner who were unable to attend. I heard some incredibly new researched data, listened to incredibly motivating trainers, had some work outs that made me use muscles I've never used, did some circuits that pushed me so hard I almost vomited, and heard some fun exciting things in the fitness world. More blogs to come!
