"I focus on developing our ability to move and perform with control, strength and rhythm. I work towards movement fluidity, whether it is running, cycling or body work practice"

My training is diverse as I integrate and fuse many training forms into one. It is process of exploring the possibility and capability of what your body can achieve that I find interesting.

There is something charming about training contrasts, the contrasts between environments, speeds and challenges which makes them exciting.

I highlight the importance of conditioning your movement first, as this creates the platform for performing physically well. Building space into the joint structures and elasticity into the soft tissue enables the body to move efficiently through 3 dimensional space. Whether you are a athlete or want that joyful athletic feeling to play with your kids. Moving well and effectively is essential for optimal physical well-being.

I work with 3DFT  (3 dimensional functional training), which is a concept where we condition the body to move through multiple planes of motion; Such as laterally, forward-backward and in rotation, Research supports the fact that variable movement helps enhances human function and reduces potential injury. 

Further more we understand that to develop true authentic functional strength, that has the biggest cross over to sports and life. It is training variability that creates the bigger changes when we discuss human performance. I pay attention to conditioning the bio systems such as control systems, respiratory,  and reaction systems, In turn this keeps the body alert and sharp both athletically and mentally. Which is ultimately is what WE all want!

These are the feet of one of a professional female dancers @goteborgsoperan that help I strengthen & condition. The dancers foot in my opinion has athleticism, like almost no other athlete. These feet can carry hundreds of kgs, product massive amount of force with phenomenal dexterity. Just imagine jumping on the tips of your toes, rotating several hundred and even thousands degrees 6-8 hours a day, every day with razor cut precision. If this foot was a car, it would be the F1 of feet. It is truly amazing, what kind of foot you need to develop to do what they do! For the majority, feet are just taken for granted, healthy functional feet are the pivot to optimal movement for all athletes to non-athletes. A good tip, is to roll on the sole of each foot for a 60sec before training. Especially important, if you have to wear restricted athletic foot wear. Take care of your feet and they will take care of you! 🖤 . Train smarter not harder #casall #casallpro #procedos #trainingsimplified #foreverbetter #coach #coaching #lifeinbalance #goals #workoutball #holistic #ballet This is incredibly important for all, from the athlete to the non-athlete. Training plans need to be designed ultimately around how well the clients ability to manage stress to sleep to hydration. A great exercise plan with a crappy lifestyle will likely give you sub-standard results. Keep checking the whole picture. And... don’t afraid to adjust your training intensity. Ex, bad sleep, turn down the intensity. 70 hour work weeks, turn down the intensity. As it is an integrated system! . Train smarter not harder #casall #casallpro #procedos #trainingsimplified #foreverbetter #coach #coaching #lifeinbalance #goals #workoutball #holistic Generally the majority of clients need more multi - directional training when they come and see me. These are two progressive and fun frontal plane exercises for clients. …… MED BALL PUSH THROW WITH LATERAL - CROSS OVER Keep the box at 20-30cm, use a med ball that weights between 1-4kgs …… ⚠️Adjust speeds and frequency based upon the clients ability. Work with time or reps. .…… CAT & MOUSE MED BALL THROWS Start with the client following your change of direction (C.O.D). Keep spontaneously switching directions. Trainer/ client works only for 5secs with the ball before they must pass the ball. Work with time. Stop when the client cannot maintain quality of movement. …… ⚠️Give longer breaks to less conditioned clients. …… ⛔️ Stop before clients get to tired to avoid tripping - falling! …… As always add caution with new exercises, use a progressive build up. Play with these, as they are very rewarding for all! Train smarter not harder #casall #casallpro #procedos #trainingsimplified #foreverbetter #coach #coaching #lifeinbalance #goals #workoutball #medball The best way to stay alert when you had a 4.30am start, is to get a 30min pump with my buddy and one of the most smartest guys I know @andrew_x_casall My business traveller booster workout for enhanced 💪🏽🧠! 👉🏽 Work it together, switch in the rest period. Get on it! Start with 5-7mins of foam rolling & Dynamic stretching! . 2 rounds x 30 meter heavy Farmer walks . 30sec Effort / 10sec rest, 3 rounds Prowler sled pulls Med ball push throws . 30sec Effort / 10sec rest, 3 rounds DB Walking lunges Lateral Med ball throws . 20sec Effort / 10sec rest, 3 rounds Treadmill sprints Lateral bounding with plyobox .
