Thanks for coming tonight!!

On behalf of Wayne, Hartmut and Steven I'd like to thank everyone for coming tonight! We enjoyed meeting you and hope you got a lot out of the seminar. 

Hopefully the next time you go on a ride, run or swim, you'll have a different perspective on:

1) How your breathing affects your performance.
2) The importance of thoracic spine mobility on shoulder health.
3) The importance of the glute on remaining injury free.
4) The need to do "anti-endurance sports" exercises in the gym to undo all of your training.
5) Your posture and how it may be affecting your performance.
6) The critical nature of strength training 2-3x/week to stay injury free.
7) How a change in one joint angle can affect an angle in another one from muscle imbalances.
8) The way your body is moving, and what you need to optimize your performance.
