Unlike other abdominal training methods, the Hypopressive method improves the abdominal and pelvic stability by lowering the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) instead of increasing it. In this way it reduces the waist circumference drastically (8% on average), at the same time provides a perfect short and long term treatment of problems stemming from different types of hernias (spine discs, abdominal, inguinal or pelvic floor, among others) and Urinary Incontinence (UI) treatment. Points to cover:

| 12.00 – 13.00 | Movement for Life. Presented by Nathan Brown, Co-founder of Aikaro Fitness Solutions, UAE | We begin to develop these movement patterns shortly after we’re born & we continue to depend on them for the duration of our lives. These stem from just seven basic building blocks our body uses to manage these movements called ‘primal movement patterns’. This is our brains way of managing the millions of different movements we practice throughout each day. As time ticks by mistakenly we neglect the importance of understanding the basic fundamentals of primal movement & view these troubles as an inevitable by-product of getting older. When in actuality combined with sitting for too long, bad choices of nutrition, & of course not moving your body ALL contribute to decreasing your chances of longevity in life. Movement for life is a seminar that captures one of the most compelling research topics, trialled, tested & proven. |

| 14.00 – 15.00 | “The Biomechanics Of Gains!” Presented by Ross Gilmour, Co-founder Better Body Collective Body Composition Specialists | In this presentation, we look to introduce the core concepts and principles of biomechanics with specific application to Hypertrophy focused training. Without a baseline understanding of this area, selecting exercises and designing training programs to maximize the desired training response will likely be ineffective or non-specific to the individual we are working with. If there is one thing to take away from this presentation, it will be to take the concepts discussed and apply them with logic and critical thinking to everyday practice, both in your own training or with clients if you are a trainer. Presentation Key Discussion Points:
