Introduction & Details Actualize Fitness (AF) Foundation Group Training is a 2-day pre-requisite for all other AF Essentials group coaching classes. Your AF instructor will:

• Conduct a quick dynamic warm up to activate muscle groups, increase mobility and flexibility, and prepare for training

• Teach you how to assess, correct and promote biomechanical movement pattern efficiency • Help you discern and address imbalances while also considering structural abnormalities (if

any) • Encourage body awareness and motor skill development, neuromuscular balance & stability • Coach movement technique and how to allocate resistance correctly through the kinetic chain • Develop foundational core and bodyweight resistance strength • Increase trainability, workload capacity and coachability • Introduce energy system, cardiovascular and endurance training • Teach restorative techniques • And much more!

Day 1 - Warm Up Intro to Foam Rolling: Quads, hip flexors, IT band/tensor fascia latae, adductors, hamstrings, upper back, thoracic extension, lats, pecs. You are encouraged to arrive 10 minutes early or conclude training with foam rolling on your own.

FMS Screen: Active Straight-Leg Raise (1/side): While lying on back, arms at side; raise one leg as high as possible without bending knee; leave the other leg on the floor. Coach is looking for: angle of raised leg; if it’s bent, the alignment of ankle in relation to the mid-thigh. Screening for: hamstring and calf flexibility, hip mobility, and pelvic stability.

Score: _____

0=Movement is painful, requiring referral to healthcare professional 1= Inability to perform or complete functional movement pattern 2=Ability to perform a functional pattern, but with some degree of compensation 3=Unquestioned ability to perform functional movement pattern Supine Leg Bridge with Leg Whip (6/side): Double leg bridge iso hold with glute activation; conduct lateral leg whip at top of hip extension and resist rotation at the lower back or hips dropping. Half-Kneeling Adductor Dip (6/side): Make thighs right angle to one another; rock out to outside/up leg to activate groin. Rocking Ankle Mobilization (6/side): Pike position; tuck one foot behind the other; push heel down to stretch calve/Achilles.

FMS Screen: In-Line Lunge (3/side): Feet pointed straight forward and in line with each other with back knee on ground; conduct basic lunge by standing up while holding the dowel behind back, one hand near the neck, one hand near the lower back. Coach is looking for: rear knee must touch the floor just behind forward foot, and dowel must remain vertical; dowel must also maintain contact with the head, upper back and butt during the entire move; faulty movement patterns include feet turning in or out, the torso tilting forward or backward, or an inability to balance. Screen for: movement pattern efficiency, ankle knee stability, as well as abductor and glute/hamstring and core strength weakness.

Score: _____

0=Movement is painful, requiring referral to healthcare professional 1= Inability to perform or complete functional movement pattern 2=Ability to perform a functional pattern, but with some degree of compensation 3=Unquestioned ability to perform functional movement pattern


FMS Screen: Hurdle Step (1/side): Step over a hurdle that is a little below knee height (can use an imaginary hurdle); while holding the dowel across shoulders, step over hurdle with one leg; touch heel down on the other side; return to starting position. Coach is looking for: ability to stabilize and balance; shifting in level of the hips; how neutral the upper body remains. Screening for: movement pattern efficiency of hips, knees, ankles, glute/hamstring and core strength weakness.

Score: _____


FMS Screen: Rotational Stability (1/side): In quadruped position, raise arm and leg (same side) until they are parallel to the floor; then touch elbow to your knee; extend the leg and arm again and return under control to the start position. Repeat with other side. Coach is looking for: elbow knee alignment, trunk rotation, and differences between right and left sides. Screen for: movement pattern efficiency, core stability, balance and asymmetry.

Score: _____


FMS Screen: Trunk Stability Push-Up (1-3): Perform push-up with hands aligned with the top of forehead for men and chin for women. Coach is looking for: movement should be a simultaneous, full-body movement; watch for hyperextension of spin or saggy hips. Screen for: movement pattern efficiency, trunk stability, upper body and core strength.

Score: _____



FMS Screen: Shoulder Mobility (1/side): Make thumbs-in fists and put both hands behind back at the same time; one hand goes over the shoulder while the other comes from the bottom and reaches up the back; the closer your hands are together, the better. Repeat other side. Coach is looking for: Rounded shoulders, how close hands are together, symmetry between sides. Screening for: range of shoulder motion, external and internal rotation, and posture.

Score: _____1, 2, 3

0=Movement is painful, requiring referral to healthcare professional 1= Inability to perform or complete functional movement pattern 2=Ability to perform a functional pattern, but with some degree of compensation 3=Unquestioned ability to perform functional movement pattern Split Stance Dowel Pec Mobilization (6/side): Top part of split stance extension; engage core; proud chest; dowel held by bottom arm and in palm of upper arm; drive bottom arm through upper arm to activate chest.
