Managing Movement Disorder with Strength Training

Increase full body mobility, stability, and movement coordination with use of the Superfunctional!

 

If you are managing a movement disorder, this 4-week program will guide you in safely and effectively improving the quality of your mobility, stability and movement coordination. Through use of the Superfunctional, you will improve your ability to perform activities of daily living and thus, improve your quality of life. You will work through a progressive selection of exercises during weeks 1-3 and then show mastery of the movements during week 4. Below is a list of what equipment is needed for your workouts. While all of these movements are unique to Superfunctional, many can be performed with other suspension fitness products such as TRX® or CrossCore®.

Equipment Needed

  • Queenax
  • Superfunctional


Workout Recommendations

  • Ensure that you complete the warm-up and cool-down for each workout.
  • Hydrate prior to and during workout.
  • Perform each workout 2-3 times/week, allowing 2-3 days of recovery between workouts.
  • Follow the suggested reps or time as listed. However, listen to your body. Take short rest periods as needed during work intervals to ensure proper exercise technique and safety. You also may increase recovery interval length after a specific movement, if needed. Strive for quality over quantity of movement when completing this program!
