Do not underestimate the other major benefit of the Grid Foam Roller, aside from its role in soft tissue recovery and muscular performance it is highly effective as a tool for trunk (core) conditioning. The series of exercises presented in this DVD series provide a template from which an infinite number of possibilities will unfold. The smooth action the Grid provides allows users to understand the all important nature of flow and dynamic movement - the idea is then of course to bring this ease of movement into your everyday actions!
Level 3
This level is not for the faint of heart. Once you have mastered the
exercises from Level 2 it's time to progress to Level 3. In this level
we take the push, pull add a press, and add a pause at the peak
intensity of each movement. We take you to the hardest part of the
exercise and then have you hold the position. It takes strength to get
to this position and incredible stability to hold it. Posture is
imperative at this level of intensity with SMRT-CORE.
Each DVD in the series contains:
SMRT-CORE Essentials-
step by step instruction on how to master all of the progression
exercises contained within each level of the SMRT-CORE classes. Learn
the steps on how to master the movements and challenge the core while
creating a self massage like no other foam roller.
Class Exercises-
clearly explained so that you understand the movements for each
exercise within the specific level. Traditional exercises such as push
ups, crunches, planks and bridges are modified to be performed with the
body positioned on The Grid. The exercise will be broken down so that
you can add any additional exercises into your own routine.
Workouts-
a warm-up and two workouts are included in each DVD. Follow along with
the classes to challenge yourself to a stronger, more stable core.
These classes are to be followed along with so that you can challenge
yourself just like those that are on your TV screen.
