best-exercise-program-for-the-musician

We'll start with an opening message to warm up the room and get you ready for a high-flying course that will include a trip to planet transformation. This course is more than a set of exercises and will include new habits for playing and practicing that will move you to more balance, better playing, and better health. This section will feature housekeeping items for the course, the history of how we got started, a posture assessment and quiz, and a discussion of the importance of movement education.

In module 2, we'll introduce our posture-movement methodology. This will create a paradigm shift in strategy for all of your postures, movements, and activities. It's a huge step getting a foundation that will nourish you life. Most unconscious and repetitive actions lead to rapid decay affecting your ability to be a healthy musician. If you don't have your health, then the quality of life goes down the tube.  We will also have fun with our posture rap song. Why, doesn't every method have a rap song? See, we know when you have fun, the learning is easier and teaching is more effective.

In module 3, you will learn fundamentals of posture-movement education from my mentor Dr. R. Grant Ramey of Embodiment. This was the source of my education back in 1982. You will see videos of his movement principles and we will make them applicable in your playing and in everyday life. 

In module 4, we will learn simple yet profound postural-movement exercises created by Dr. R. Grant Ramey of Embodiment. We will cover 5 exercises including Pelvic Rock 'n' Roll, Soar Like an Eagle, Bow and Arrow, Blowing in the Wind, and On and Off the Chair.

In module 5, you will learn more postural-movement exercises. Here we will cover our awareness to standing and what we can do in this activity to make it as relaxed and powerful as possible. It's with these type of exercises that we can learn how to bring more awareness to our playing and practicing activities and have the same success. 

This is how we spell fun: MODULE SIX! But, more than fun you will be dazzled by Greg Irwin, the finger fitness guru and how he moves his fingers with ease and with expert coordination. The significance of knowing, learning and committing to these exercises is massive. Your hands are the lifeblood of your playing, and conditioning them is your best insurance for a healthy career and maximizing your playing abilities.

Module 7 will introduce you to hypnotherapy and the power of self-hypnosis. The Best Exercise program must include the unlimited power of the mind. We all possess subconscious thoughts that can negatively affect our learning and our playing. With this module, you'll learn some simple exercises where all you have to do is listen and you'll experience the benefits. We will use another expert, Gale Glassner Twersky, ACH, an award-winning author on self-hypnosis, to guide and help you reprogram negative subconscious thoughts to take your musicianship to the next level.  

Module 8 will cover our unique posture-movement educational method. Our method is called Bobblology, and you will learn how to employ the simplest, cost-effective exercise program on the planet. You will learn how to set time aside in your day to Bobble. That's right... no equipment to buy, nor do you have to change your outfit. And best of all it can take as little as 60 seconds and your done. 

In module 9, we'll take a look and practice along with a foam roller playlist I've created just for you. Props like the foam roller are inexpensive and an effective way to move and loosen up your body. You will learn a great sequence of foam roller exercises to have and use in your weekly exercise routine.

In module 10, you will learn how to effectively use the Swiss ball, aka exercise ball, yoga ball, etc. The Swiss ball is another inexpensive prop that is an effective tool for getting the body moving. It's also a fantastic way to build strength and stamina, increase flexibility, and improve your balance. We'll introduce a Swiss ball playlist that can fit into any weekly exercise regime. 

In module 11 we'll introduce a unique way to do yoga. We'll do it with the help of our foam roller. Yoga for everybody is the key. When you can modify an exercise method like yoga, you can find a way to use it no matter what your limitations are. If the yoga exercises with the foam roller are too vigorous for you, we'll show you a way to do great yoga-like moves right in our chair. 

If you've reached module 12, then you're super close to completing the course. In order to finish and get your certificate, you just have to complete the one-page achievement statement that will give you a roadmap to your future schedule. You will also receive access to the Achievement Program course where you can download the daily journal to be used in the 60-day Achievement Program ($97 value). 

As part of the program, everyone in the course will have the opportunity to go schedule a 50-minute zoom meeting and go one-on-one with the course creator, Dr. David Allan. Here is a chance to discuss or review anything in and out of the course. This is your time to be scheduled at your convenience. This can occur anytime during your 365 day access to the program.
