Indo Board Workshop For Fitness Professionals

Saturday November 20th 2010 there will be an Indo Board Workshop to give all you personal trainers some CEC's for your recertification.  Jon will be on hand providing instruction, fun, and a change of pace for other trainers to "Get Indo It!"  The workshop will take place at the Chiropractic Sports Institute in Westlake Village, and will provide both trainers and enthusiasts the information and tools to be an Indo Board balance trainer/instructor and learn about the latest research regarding the efficacy of Balance Training for your training regimen.  

From the Indo Board Website:

This workshop will help you not only better understand what systems and factors lead to improved balance but it will explain the direct relationship between balance, proprioception, postural awareness and how these things relate to improving overall health and fitness. We also will discuss concepts such as functional balance training, instability resistance training and how these training techniques can positively affect nearly every type of individual regardless of age, fitness level or athletic background. Finally, this workshop will provide practical, relevant and scientifically valid information that will assist fitness professionals in gaining a better understanding of how the concepts of improving balance and postural awareness can be achieved while also enhancing fitness, conditioning and strength.
