I tweaked my back pretty badly today from overtraining with kettlebells. It feels like my right SI joint is inflamed and I can hardly move my hip. I need to get back to Foundation Training, so I dusted off the exercise videos and started doing all 12 exercises one after the other, even though it hurt like hell.
With Tara Kelsey, Smith co-owns B-Fit Studio at 25 N. Block St. in Fayetteville, a personal training business that in the past focused on Pilates but now emphasizes a less familiar program called Foundation Training. And pain's chosen victim is ... whoever. An athlete or a desk jockey -- doesn't matter. When we sit, she says, our backsides are largely lax, and our minds are thinking about other things besides using those muscles in a coordinated fashion.

Eric Goodman, a Carpinteria, Calif., chiropractor who created Foundation Training, says anything we make our bodies do more frequently than other things is training. And so, sitting is a training regimen. Specifically, it trains the body to sit.
And the body adapts. In videos on the website foundationtraining.com, Goodman explains that -- besides encouraging us to stop engaging the powerful muscles on the posterior of the body when we actually need to -- sitting a lot compresses the spine. It also shrinks the chest, flattens the lumbar curve, tucks the pelvis and shortens hamstrings, sinks ribs into the waist and crowds internal organs. The chin juts; the neck strains to hold up the head; shadows fall; puppies cry.
They still do Pilates and yoga, "and I love all that stuff," Smith says. "It's not meant to replace that stuff" -- walking, running, Pilates, skating, football, CrossFit, Zumba ... whatever. Foundation is designed to accessorize a larger program or sports training.
Earlier this summer I stumbled across an interesting training program called Foundation Training. I say stumbled because it was purely by serendipity. Foundation Training is relatively new and certainly undiscovered by the majority of active people.
Times where my leg was beginning to get the shaky-shakes. And then the day after was eye-opening as well. My right glute felt like I had been doing barbell hip thrusts to exhaustion the day before, when in reality I had only been training bodyweight poses.
Just started doing the foundation training this week and whoa. What a burner! Quick question for those who do this all the time, is it normal to be feeling it in your quads and hamstrings as well as your lower back and hips?
Hip hinging is an effective way to teach all the muscles of the posterior chain to work in conjunction with one another to perform the same task. It is the basic foundation of proper movement. Unfortunately, few know how to do it and almost no one can do it well. When this basic movement pattern begins to atrophy, we end up compensating in a variety of ways and the result leads to chronic breakdown of our joints and, eventually, pain.
Great insights. I have been practicing FT for almost a year after experiencing back pain and stiffness while bending and have experienced wonderful results. I continue to get stronger and am able to engage more muscles and expand my breathing techniques so the practice continues to challenge me. For those wondering-there are training DVDs available on the FT website. I use them and find the guidance really helpful. Thanks again for the insightful comments!
If we understand what the dog is thinking and what the sheep are thinking, then we will know what we should be thinking. The Theory of Herding will provide the foundation you need for training your dog successfully. (DVD #1)
These training films produced by Jerry Rowe are a must for all herding enthusiasts. These theories and training methods are tremendously helpful in learning the theory and understanding in how to train any herding dog to use their basic instinct to control the stock.
Educating the handler on how to read their dog and the stock is no small task and these films bridge a huge gap in the training literature and training methods available to DYI owners of herding dogs.
MAS, since foundation training are strengthening exercises, is it possible that they could interfere with recovery from the regular strength training? Or be included in the strength training session? I do HIT training hillfit style, and i need lots of recovery, but i also struggle with lower back pain and an exessive anterior pelvic tilt. Do you have any toughts?

Ethics approval for the trial was granted by the West of Scotland Research Ethics Committee (REC) 4 on 11 June 2014 (reference number 14/WS/0111). NHS approval was granted for 10 different trusts/foundation trusts in England, and two local health boards granted approval for the two sites in Scotland. The trial sponsor was Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) and the AMBER trial office was based in the Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professions Research Unit (NMAHP RU) at GCU. The AMBER trial was registered with the International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN) registry (ISRCTN85007023) and on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03166007).
In order to standardise the intervention delivery across all sites, training for all site staff delivering the intervention was provided by one individual with clinical expertise in the area. Staff attended a trial training day and/or they were trained during the site initiation visits. Each staff member had to perform practical demonstrations and be deemed proficient in the technique before being signed off as fully competent. Sites were contacted after the baseline appointment of their first participant from the intervention group to discuss how staff found delivering the massage and to answer any questions. Further training was available at this point, but all sites felt confident in the delivery of the intervention. Any questions/feedback from the individual sites were shared with all research site staff via monthly update teleconferences. The weekly telephone calls to participants were done either by the staff member who delivered the massage training, or by another member of staff on the delegation log.
Participants randomised to the control group were informed that they would be given access to the massage training materials at the end of their follow-up (week 24). In addition, some of the sites offered to hold training sessions with the control group participants after they had completed the study.
We initially had two different training documents and we asked the group which would be better used as an aide memoire. The MS focus group had very mixed opinions on their preferences, and discussed the style, language and diagrams used. It was therefore concluded that both of these additional training materials would be provided to all participants in the intervention arm and they could decide which material they felt was better for them. However, there is the possibility of combining the information into one single training document if the intervention is rolled out to clinical care.
Move Better. It's that simple. Ignore trends. Patrick doesn't care what "looks" cool, or even what "feels" cool. He takes each individual's specific anatomy, and I does what's best for THAT body. Smart training is sexy too.

The presentation encourages medical students and physicians to be self-reflective and question how much they too have been influenced by television. Traditionally, medical dramas have exalted the physician as a noble warrior who uses his intelligence and skill to defend the most vulnerable against the calamity of disease. When this idealistic notion is combined with George Clooney or Patrick Dempsey as the popular face of medicine, who wouldn't want to be the next Dr. Ross or Shepard? We might be reluctant to admit that television played a role in our career choice, but it is undeniable that these shows have helped shape society's opinion of physicians. Now when we watch, we can distinguish fact from fiction because of our medical training. But most patients do not have that opportunity, a fact that might create hurdles for budding physicians.
It is not uncommon for a television episode to depict a physician jeopardizing his or her career and respect from colleagues to accomplish something that will benefit the patient. The authors urge their audience to capitalize on the widely held belief that despite all their shortcomings doctors still care about their patients. This longstanding truth can serve as a foundation from which to build trust and rapport between patient and physician in an age where what is real and what is fiction becomes more indistinguishable every day. 2ff7e9595c
