 CORE MOTION Training utilizes multiple plane and muscle system synergy techniques over individual muscle isolation. This improves kinesthetic awareness, circulation, and joint mobility, while maintaining balanced strategic muscular stabilization and superior cardiovascular development.
This progressive simply-adaptable program is the first formalized weighted ball program for group aerobic and sport conditioning instruction. CORE MOTION offers safe, low impact total body training techniques to develop muscular and cardiovascular endurance, weight control, improve balance, sports-specific performance, and to reduce the overall risk of injury.
Simplicity and adaptability for everyone helps instructors involve participants with diverse physical challenges, abilities, ages, and goals.
CORE MOTION training achieves the fitness goals and expectations for a variety of participants: cardiovascular conditioning, strength and power training, flexibility and coordination enhancement, balance improvement and tremendous cardio caloric out-put for excellent weight management.
"Core" Training
|  The Core: consists of the rectus abdominus, internal and external obliques, and erector spinaes. These muscles in your thorax allow you to transfer movement and power to and from the extremities: the two legs, two arms, and the head, and from the upper to lower body and vice versa.
Specifically, the lower half of the thorax has been called the core, but many CORE MOTION movements utilizes the upper half of the thorax which also serves to stabilize the movements in a similar manner as the lower for improved stability.
Conventional training focuses on isolated movements of the extremities, often disregarding core stability completely. This neglect of the body’s foundation results in increased risk of injuries to the back, abdominal region, groin and shoulder. CORE MOTION training’s multi-tiered approach to core conditioning reduces the risk for these injuries and develops a healthier, stronger back, abdominal region and extremities. At the same time you develop muscular symmetry, stabilization and balance.
The key to core stabilization is having better control of these muscle groups, as well as to have them work more effectively on an involuntary basis.

Movements
CORE MOTION Training techniques for muscle recruitment and optimized body mechanics:
Force Reduction(FR)Training; training your the ability to stop, or to decelerate your body or an object through space. Develops body symmetry and improves functional strength, coordination and kinesthetic awareness. FR also helps you to better transfer energy through your body. Causing more efficient movement, which equals less wear and tear on the body with maximum muscular involvement.
Rotary Recoil (RR)Training: are movements involving shoulder travel from the frontal plane to or past the sagittal plane while keeping head and hips facing forward to optimize muscular involvement throughout the torso and back. FR is a major component in effective RR movements.
Multiple Plane/Compound Joint (MPCJ)Training: requires the body to move through several planes during exercise execution. This maximizes joint involvement, range of motion, muscle recruitment, and kinesthetic awareness.
Plyometric(Plyo) Training: a muscular Stretch-Shorten Cycle of movements involving a rapid turnover of concentric strength to eccentric strength
(FR) and the immediate reversal back to concentric strength to produce movements that generate greater explosive power(and more caloric output) than activities without the pre-loading factor(PLF).
Proprioceptive training: The re-training of the bodies ability to maintain balance while moving through space, and for maximum kinesthetic awareness.

 These muscle recruitment methods can be physically and mentally demanding as they rely greatly on the use of the central nervous system to execute multiple plane and directional movements with precision.
Most Core Motion movements require balance, or a shift of balance and energy through the body. Core Motion balance exercises allow tremendous recruitment of Core generated energy to maintain and recreate balance.
As in building muscles through use, our natural re-grounding, or proprioceptive abilities are also sharpened through use and repetition.
These movements are accessed specifically for interval training during many of the workouts, and are perfect for "Active recovery", regaining focus and a comfortable aerobic level.
Performing these exercises and drills with eyes closed adds an intense dynamic. Causing greater recruitment of the nervous system to perform for superior kinesthetic training.
