101 BeyondBarre: Contemporary Cardio
Colleen Ketchum
Deliver the Exquisite Burn and ultimate results your clients crave with Beyond Barre, an all-in-one, cardio
infused workout. This workshop will focus on alternating between ballet barre’s thigh trimming, booty
lifting, leg sculpting techniques and the BeyondBarre Glide Board’s heart pumping cardio and over all
body strength training. In this workshop you’ll learn how to keep things moving by alternating between
exercise combinations on the muscle sculpting ballet barre and cardio intervals of the BeyondBarre Glide
Board. These exercises are accompanied by strategic whole-body strengthening moves on the
BeyondBarre Glide Board to ensure a well-rounded routine. This is more than just a ballet class. The
BeyondBarre Glide Board, a slippery surface designed for sliding back and forth like an ice skater, adds a
true fat burning cardio element for a complete body workout. You’ll leave with a defined choreography
outline that can be used with any class to guarantee a heart pumping, fat melting and muscle sculpting
experience like no other.

210 Movement Prep: The New Warm Up
Rick Richey
Movement Prep is seen as the "new" answer to the old warm-up for many progressive sports
performance coaches and trainers. Instead of simply getting on a treadmill or piece of cardio equipment,
movement prep is designed to go way beyond "getting the muscles warm" to prepare the body for the
workout you are about to do. Workouts with the addition of specific flexibility, activation circuits, and
dynamic motor pattern integration help to better prepare the body for heavier lifts, increased levels of
sports performance, and decrease the chances of injury. Get ready to learn and burn with a partial lecture
to address the rational, followed by practicing some techniques to prep the body for movement!

Steven Siemienski
With all of the information and a lot of misinformation that exists within the fitness industry, it is crucial for

include: What really is stretching? . . .What does Functional training even mean? . . . How specific (and
relevant) is “sport-specific” training?
