8:30-10:00 AM - KEYNOTE

Moving Fitness, Health & Functional Performance 20 Years Ahead Chad Benson

Over the last 20 years, physical therapy, fitness, and athlete performance have moved from completely separate fields to a new state of convergence and multidisciplinary integration.

While we’re still fighting a health and obesity epidemic, today’s clients include aging adults, athletes extending their careers, corporate clients trying to de-stress, and more. Common to all these groups is the effort to improve quality of life. Today, we stand on the verge of a new era of synchronicity and improved function. Chad will examine the foundations of functional movement while taking you through his personal journey of function, fitness, performance, and disciplinary convergence.

10:30 AM – 12 PM

Natural Fitness Session Craig Rice

The human animal used to be able to survive and thrive in harsh conditions without the help of high tech gear or training practices. Join Craig in a session that will help you reclaim some of the practical physical capabilities that kept our ancestors fit.

10 Best Exercises to Wow a New Client Chad Benson

Over my years of training, prescribing exercise and studying innovation, I have forgotten certain exercises I used to WOW a client with when I was first working with them. No matter the goal of the client all of these exercises can be used to expose kinks in your clients’ functional armor, flexibility or performance. In this session you will learn new exercises and how to take your client’s fitness to the next level.

The Art and Science of Exercise Prescription for Clients with Cardiac Issues Sandy Gilmour

With our aging population and more advanced medical procedures, many people are living active lives with some variety of cardiac disease.

This workshop will review the common cardiac conditions and the essential aspects in creating a safe and effective exercise prescription.

TriggerPoint: GRID® Lock 360 Athletics

Get on the GRID and discover integrated movements that strengthen and stabilize the entire core (including the erector spinae, glutes, abdominals and obliques). Then, learn exactly how to coach your clients through this comprehensive core training. Walk away with the tools you need to help anyone create a stronger core, boost agility and increase flexibility, all while improving your client’s back health.

1:00-2:30 PM

Balance Training That Matters Chad Benson

Flailing away in chaotic patterns and lifting weights while standing on inflatable toys can be, but often isn’t purposeful. Scientific, well programmed balance / proprioception training requires an understanding of the science behind proprioception and an application that matters.

Purposeful balance training will help stimulate under active neural pathways and enhance dynamic and reactive joint stability. Participants will leave understanding the concepts and progressions required to enhance center of gravity control, impact joint stability and alignment, improve coordination and prevent injury due to falling. A combination of isolated and multijointed exercises will be utilized and progressed.

FITNESS EXPOSITION

Saturday, November 7th 10-10:30 AM, 12-1 PM and 2:30-3 PM

Fitness equipment, nutrition and athletic apparel from industry leading vendors

Myofascial Compression™ Techniques (MCT) can serve as an effective cool-down method upon completion of exercise. Promote circulation through a systematic post workout, activity or at the end of your day to enhance circulation, create tissue pliability, and initiate the recovery process.

The workshop will focus in on the programming application of MCT using follow body specific releases to enhance your recovery.

Influence and Inspire – Leading Group Fitness with Confidence Amanda Vogel

In this workshop, you will look at your role as a group leader and influencer in new and exciting ways.

Head to your next class with renewed inspiration and confidence about your abilities and influence as a fitness leader and educator.

The Baby Boomer Generation Debbie Cheong

3:00-4:30 PM

Sunday. November 8th, 2015

Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence

7:00-8:00 AM

PRE SESSION WORKOUT Morning Workout Chris Hinton

Enjoy a high intensity session focused around the concept of complex training: involving a strength exercise quickly followed by a power movement with very similar biomechanics.

Using a variety of equipment, you will combine compound movements engaging the large muscles and important stabilizers of the body while performing ballistic movement patterns which force their recruitment and subsequent development.

8:30-10:00 AM

Assessing & Training Elements of the Fascial System. Part 1: The Science Chad Benson

Functional & fascial movement science is remodeling the way we train fitness and performance clients alike. No matter the client, elite level customer service & coaching requires expertise in error detection & correction. Poor posture, myofascial kinks and the resultant movement errors lead to preventable pain and injury. The science of functional movement assessment, fascial fitness, mechanoreception & myofascial sling anatomy will form the foundation of this 2 part seminar. Part 1 will allow participants to apply the science of movement, to assess, correct & progress from myofascial dysfunction to movement efficiency.

Assessments associated with the Spiral and Superficial Back Line (Myers: Anatomy Trains) will be illustrated during this seminar.

3:00-4:30 PM

Physical Competency Nick Clarke

Learn how to define and evaluate physical competency in athlete/clients of any age or gender. This non-sport biased assessment tool will allow to quantify and track progression of physical competency as well as provide a starting point for addressing weaknesses and asymmetries through a strength and conditioning program.

10:30 AM-12 PM

Assessing & Training Elements of the Fascial System. Part 2: The Application Chad Benson See Part 1 description on previous page.

Modern Approaches to Body Composition: From Assessment to Alteration Trent Stellingwerf

Although energetics dictate that body composition and body weight should be as easy as calories in versus calories out; there are massive complexities involved in food selection, dietary restraint, caloric expenditure and individual response to weight gain or loss.

Furthermore, there probably is not an area in the fitness and performance industry with as many misconceptions and myths as weight loss/ gain. This presentation will examine approaches to assessing body composition and modern research and knowledge that we have on altering body composition.

1:00-2:30 PM

Assisting Seniors Toward Aging Positively Sandy Gilmour

We have all heard the slogan ‘The Golden Years’ or ‘How Seniors can Age Gracefully’. But sometimes the reality of disability, disease and decreased lifestyle seem to corrode those descriptors of the senior years. In this workshop we will examine practical ways you can use to encourage your older exercisers to age positively.

Skills and Drills for Kettlebells & Battle Ropes Dustin Moore

Move beyond the basic kettlebell swing. Dynamic movements, presses, mobility drills, loaded carries and kettlebell juggling will be introduced to broaden the range of kettlebell skills in your toolbox. A variety of battle rope drills will also be covered including different gripping positions, and a range of static and dynamic positions that will expand your ability to implement this high intensity exercise tool.

‘Fit into the 90’s’ History of the Island Fitness Conference

The Island Fitness Conference began in 1989 as “Fit into the 90’s”. The purpose of the Conference was to ensure that Vancouver Island fitness leaders had access to quality educational training on Vancouver Island. In 2000, “Fit into the 90’s” became “The Island Fitness Conference.” What started as a small group of volunteers has grown into a committee of programmers, instructors and fitness enthusiasts representing a good portion of Southern Vancouver Island.
