for life, fitness and health. I will teach you to use my training system to
define, correct and change habits in order to influence the decisions we
make. I will demonstrate and provide easy to learn movement techniques that
will show that we move affects how we think and ultimately how we feel in
the choices we make from nutrition to living our lives. This will give you a
road map to follow, which can lead to a more centered life with less
overuse, wasted energy and discomfort. This lecture will describe how aging
and exercise is not a losing battle and that there is a perfect balance to
how we need to train and move at every stage of our lives.

Balletone®
Sole Synthesis
with Shannon Fable
Thursday 4/17/08 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Course #: 805
CEC’s: ACE 0.4 AFAA 4.0
A new program from Balletone® designed to teach you the basics of Balletone,
and provide a method to fusing the principles of this amazing workout with
traditional fitness and yoga to build a functional fitness program with
‘sole’. Sole Synthesis is “simplicity through triplicity” … barefoot
training meets strength, cardio and flexibility. There are no fancy moves
here. The idea is to simply use a movement you’ve done for ages and
transform it seamlessly in three different ways with ONE outcome – a
proactive workout rooted in functional training that will leave you strong,
centered, and actively flexible from the ground up. Specifically designed to
attract three times the crowd, learn to use traditional fitness exercises
you know and love and transform them into Balletone phrases and Yoga
postures for three times the workout. Begin with a fitness move and MASTER
THE MOVEMENT - simply change the focus and intention to get more from your
participant, all without picking up a dumbbell. Next, transform the fitness
element into a Balletone® inspired pattern which adds long lever, dynamic
and active flexibility patterns in a variety of planes and FLOW THE
MOVEMENT. Finally, use a non-traditional Yoga posture to CALM THE MOVEMENT –
moving through poses while adding feet exercises and shoulder girdle
stabilization techniques while allowing participants to refocus and recover,
readying the body for the next challenge. Be ready to take your shoes off,
learn about barefoot training and see just how easy it is to get more from
your students without changing too much or using equipment! Elevated
functional training in the group fitness room that’s sure to make you
sweat!!

Course #: 807
CEC’s: ACE .9, AFAA 8.75
Say good-bye to the myth of the “delicate” condition and hello to pregnancy
in the 21st century! Current research continues to show that women can
safely exercise and maintain their fitness level during the perinatal
period. Women who continue to exercise regularly throughout their
pregnancies are less likely to need medical intervention during labor and
delivery (i.e. pitocin use, forceps delivery, etc.) and experience less time
in both active labor and during the second (“pushing”) stage. They also gain
less fat and recover more quickly then sedentary pregnant women. With these
findings in mind, more and more women are starting an exercise program or
continuing to exercise during their pregnancies. The result is greatly
increased need for fitness professionals with the knowledge and skills to
design and implement specialty programs for this population as well as the
ability to safely integrate these women into conventional fitness settings.
Exercise provides innumerable benefits before, during and after pregnancy.
Learn how to increase your client’s self esteem and enhance their well being
and find out all the wonderful ways to help the body prepare and “train for
the main event.”
This training course covers very detailed information in a user-friendly
format. You will discover the benefits, risks, and overall effects of
exercise in relation to each phase of the perinatal period as well as take
part in a demonstration. Healthy Moms® pre-postnatal fitness class.
Topics include: “Project Pregnancy” - Preconceptual Exercise Planning,
benefits of exercise, heat exposure, nutritional concepts (appropriate
weight for height, vitamin-mineral supplementation, eating habits,
vegetarianism) and intensity guidelines.
“Training For The Main Event” – Pregnancy and Exercise: Physiological and
anatomical changes of pregnancy, overview of fetal growth and development,
basic obstetric tests, stages of labor and delivery, labor medications,
client screening technologies, 1994 ACOG Guidelines, aerobic exercise,
strength training, nutritional concerns, relaxation strategies, marketing
tips and the latest research findings regarding pregnancy and exercise.
“Postpartum: Returning To Your Fitness Goals,” Physical and emotional
changes, basic foundation or restorative exercises, abdominal and pelvic
floor rehabilitation, aerobic exercise, strength training, stages of post
partum depression, breast-feeding and other nutritional concerns.
The optional take-home exam will test the practical application of the
information presented using an essay type format.

behaviors, eating and exercise all intertwine. You will leave with a
comprehensive knowledge of the topic and how to handle it in your fitness
practice. Topics covered will include: defining eating and exercise
disorders, recognizing the symptoms and behaviors, current treatment
options, medical risks and side effects of these disorders, fitness and

athletes and disordered behavior and how to safely and effectively train
