What’s Unique About FPM’s Lab Immersion Experiences?

Todays health & performance specialist is faced with the enigma of information overload. Join FPM to collaborate in group discussions & labs where we level-up together to implement individualized Best Practices Game Plans. We teach each other since each of us works with different populations & in different environments. You’ll teach each other, engage in group discussions & workshop constraints-based gamified & partner movement snacks.

Learning Objectives

  • How to make health span last one’s lifespan
  • Creating a measurable dashboard
  • Testing, monitoring & the building a sport (activity) specific functional envelope
  • The role of Metabolic factors in blunting or sharpening training adaptations,
  • A Metabolic health & lifestyle dashboard for ⬇️ disabling pain & ⬆️ health span
  • The role of pace, HR & the Talk Test in low intensity Z1-2 training

Goals

The status quo in the training or health care focuses on what’s either always been done or is trendy. However common problems like weight loss & pain relief are hard to solve & many great minds have tried. If we think of problems the same way & just come up with new techniques we’ll never raise the bar. But, if we re-frame the problem itself or try to solve for a different problem we can achieve the desired results as a side effect.

For example, instead of offering a “quick fix” (impossible) for pain we can teach Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) (achievable). Today Ozembic is all the rage for weight loss along with the latest diet trends. However, we can focus on building muscle mass instead of weight loss.

Today’s health care field has fallen into the negative health trap of over-diagnosis and over-treatment. This drives a transactional relationship instead of an infinite game mindset. Our aim is bring together a community of trainers, coaches & clinicians to promote & support positive health.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Zone 1-2 training distinguishing recovery & Fat Max
  • Sharpening Aerobic capacity & VO2 max
  • A sarcopenia test battery
  • Why to order a DXA scan
  • Biomarkers for metabolic health – insulin, pre-diabetes, & inflammation
  • Baselining Adductor, Gastroc & Soleus, Hammie & Quad strength

We’ll discuss how to surf the force-velocity curve to make training more individualized. Out goal is to lower biological age so life span doesn’t outrun health span. Our positive health orientation finds a silver lining in the pain encounter so as to motivate sustainable lifestyle/behavior change.
