Eliminating muscular dysfunction, structural imbalances, and faulty mechanics have become a key concept in the field of performance training.  Whether it’s weakness in the core, lack of mobility in the hips, over-dominant anterior muscle groups, or simply a lack of size in specific body parts, the idea of eliminating such weaknesses has become common points of discussion amongst top strength and conditioning professionals.  Thousands of articles have been written about this key topic; however, few have examined the importance of other less glamorous topics, specifically foot and ankle training. Indeed, this is a topic that is relatively neglected and overlooked in the field of kinesiology. However, proper activation and function of the foot and ankle complex is vital for maximizing performance and strength and critical for ensuring tissue health and injury prevention. Other than proper posture and spinal alignment, foot and ankle function may be the single most important factor when it comes to optimizing movement quality, biomechanics, and muscle function. This book is meant to address head-on this vital yet often overlooked aspect of the human body in an effort to significantly increase one’s performance, overall health, stabilization, and neuromuscular activation.

With this program you have Dr. Seedman's personal blueprint for addressing all aspects of foot & ankle performance, including:

1. MANUAL: Full manual on foot & ankle performance, issues, and training protocols
    
2. ~50 VIDEO TUTORIALS: Complete video gallery (~50 videos) and written tutorials addressing almost 50 exercises for addressing foot & ankle performance.
    
3. 14 EXERCISE PROGRAMS: Holistic exercise prescription and 14 workout programs with accompanying videos, instructions, and protocols for all foot & ankle functions. 

Because most trainees neglect their feet, ankles and toes they exhibit significant weaknesses and imbalances which contribute to a host of issues throughout their body including: (1) pain to the hips, knees, and back, (2) lack of mobility, (3) chronic and acute injuries throughout the entire body, and (4) poor balance, proprioception, and instability. Activation starts in the feet and ankles. If the muscles in the feet are not firing properly this spells disaster not only from a performance standpoint but also froma health and wellness perspective.  Whatever foot, ankle, and toe issues you have this manual and accompanying exercise program is sure to alleviate the root cause. I’ve personally invested years into examining, researching, and developing the most effective treatments, exercises, and training modalities that correct and restore foot mechanics to their proper level of function. 

This program includes the same high-end techniques and training protocols Dr. Seedman uses with his professional athletes and clients. If leveraged properly, this manual, video tutorials, and accompanying workouts will transform your entire performance, overall health, stabilization, hypertrophy, speed, and power. In 15-20 minutes daily, you can now drastically improve your balance, stability, loading, gait, mechanics, and movement quality thereby (1) eliminating faulty foot, ankle, and toe mechanics, (2) reducing pain, inflammation, and injury to the feet, knees, hips, low back, shoulders, and spine, (3) improving athletic performance, fitness, muscle function, and the ability to produce force, power, speed, and agility and finally, (4) restoring function to your entire body.

If you’re goal is unprecedented levels of muscle mass, strength and functional size then this program is for you. Developed by Dr. Joel Seedman this mass building routine is designed to induce extreme levels of muscular hypertrophy, lean mass gains, and strength from head to toe.  As an added bonus you’ll also improve muscle function and biomotor capabilities and neuromuscular coordination without sacrificing any athletic performance, mobility or posture. Many bodybuilding routines are unfortunately very detrimental on muscle function and athletic performance.  In fact many of these mainstream traditional bodybuilding routines tend to deteriorate muscle function and impair biomotor capabilities including stability, balance, flexibility, mobility, agility, and neuromuscular coordination. The aftermath is that most bodybuilding routines are not ideal for the general public. In contrast this routine enhances each of these critical performance factors.

Designed to last a minimum of 2 years, Exercise Programing Encyclopedia is one of the best deals in the sports and fitness industry!  This program includes nearly all training splits and template protocols Dr. Seedman utilize with his professional athletes and private clients. With 26 different workout templates, this plan provides incredible variety, flexibility, and effective programming for intermediate and advanced trainees. Quite simply, the programming possibilities and variations are endless which is why this Program is recommended for more advanced trainees who like to change their workouts frequently as it gives months if not years of possible combinations.  The program also lays out ideal volume of training, number of sets, rep ranges, rest periods, exercise pairings, and exercise order all of which are critical for maximizing training success. 

This training program was designed specifically by Dr. Seedman to address the needs of beginner and intermediate level trainees.  Although Dr. Seedman works with many high level athletes he also enjoys helping less experienced trainees accomplish their health, physique, and performance goals. Individuals who are unfamiliar with the exercise routines and workout programs can use this routine with great success as the program as simple and very user friendly.  It’s also conducive for those at the intermediate stages of training looking to take their health and fitness to the next level.  Regardless of your goals, fitness levels, prior level of training experience, or familiarity and comfort with training, this routine will fit the bill on many levels.
