RUNNING PROGRAMME
EXERCISE - 1
Rotatory, Step (Sagittal), Pivot Step
1 2
EXERCISE PREPARATION Assume a two-handed Neutral Hold Pre-determine the length of step and remain consistent throughout the exercise EXERCISE MOVEMENT Begin by taking a comfortable step forwards along the Sagittal plane As you step forwards, rotate ViPR in that direction Perform a Pivot Step this means the forward leg steps through and behind As the foot steps posterior, rotate ViPR in the other direction
THE EVOLUTION OF FREE WEIGHTS
EXERCISE PREPARATION Begin with a Front Carry Hold Perform the motion unloaded (i.e., without ViPR) prior to loaded so that the quality of motion can be assessed Pre-determine the range of motion Begin by taking a comfortable out-turn step in the Transverse Plane As you step back rotationally, rotate ViPR and shoulders in the same direction Perform a Transverse plane in-turn Pivot Step and plant Ensure that both big toes are firmly planted on the ground As you plant the Pivot Step, rotate ViPR and shoulders towards the stepping leg Reduce the range of motion in both the Handprint and Footprint it is a good idea to simply perform the out-turn and avoid the in-turn step to begin with Lighter ViPR

EXERCISE - 2
EXERCISE PREPARATION Assume a two-handed Neutral Hold Pre-determine the range of motion and remain consistent throughout the exercise EXERCISE MOVEMENT Begin by taking a comfortable step laterally along the Frontal plane As you step sideways, push ViPR in the opposite Lateral angulation Perform Pivot Step and plant ensure that both big toes are firmly planted on the ground As you Pivot Step, reach with the hands in the opposite direction
EXERCISE PREPARATION Begin with a two-handed Neutral Hold Perform the motion unloaded (i.e., without ViPR) prior to loaded Pre-determine the range of motion Begin in a Staggered Stance Flex at the hips and load ViPR to the trail leg side Begin to extend the hips as you drive ViPR over the opposite shoulder to the trail leg As ViPR drives over the opposite shoulder, ensure that you maintain space in the spine by performing a Posterior Pelvic Tilt Reduce the range of motion in both the Handprint and Footprint it is a good idea to simply perform the hip flexion step to begin Lighter ViPR

EXERCISE PREPARATION Begin with a two-handed Wide Hold Perform the motion unloaded (i.e., without ViPR) prior to loaded so that the quality of motion can be assessed Pre-determine the range of motion and remain consistent throughout the exercise Begin in a 1.5 Leg Stance Squat down with most of the weight on the forward leg and reach laterally in the direction of the forward leg Return to standing and repeat Reduce the range of motion in both the Handprint and Footprint Two-foot stance Use two-handed Neutral Hold
Assume a neutral Shovel Hold Perform the motion unloaded (i.e., without ViPR) prior to loaded so that the quality of motion can be assessed Pre-determine the range of motion and remain consistent throughout the exercise Begin by taking a forward step with the opposite foot to the Shovel Grip As the step occurs, rotate the hips and shoulders towards the forward leg Perform a Pivot Step while you rotate the hips and shoulders in the opposite direction Reduce the range of motion in both the Handprint and Footprint it is a good idea to simply perform the Hip Flexion Step to begin Lighter ViPR

Pre-determine the range of motion and remain consistent throughout the exercise EXERCISE MOVEMENT
REGRESSIONS
Begin in a two-leg stance Reach with foot laterally as you reach in the opposite direction with hands As you return back to the centre, perform an In Place Shuffle and repeat Footprint and Handprint pattern to the other side REGRESSIONS
Shuffle in place
Reduce the range of motion in both the Handprint and Footprint you may wish to begin simply with the Footprint and leave the Handprint static Lighter ViPR
PROGRESSIONS Increase the speed Add a vertical jump Heavier ViPR

VERY small hop
EXERCISE PREPARATION Begin with a two-handed Tilt Hold (as shown) Perform the motion unloaded (i.e., without ViPR) prior to loaded so that the quality of motion can be assessed (movement should have a strong element of mobile stability) Pre-determine the range of motion and remain consistent throughout the exercise Begin in a one-leg Balance Stance Perform a VERY small Hop to one side Concurrent to the Hop, tilt ViPR in the same direction Hop past the midline to the other side and tilt ViPR Ensure that the deceleration is coming from the foot/ankle and hip, NOT the knee joint
