Accreditation points
This course introduces you to a scientific and evidence-based progression system for two of the most commonly prescribed bodyweight exercises in the industry.
Bodyweight training is a simple but effective training modality that utilises the body's weight in combination with variable resistance and multi-planar movements. In contrast to externally loaded resistance training, bodyweight training maximises relative strength while promoting spatial awareness and gross movement competency.
