Dynamic conditioning is a training system recognized by the health profession and athletes  as the most advanced form of total body conditioning available. It is a unique system of  equipment and exercises including strength, flexibility, body control, and integration awareness that incorporates proven training principles to develop, maximize  and promote proprioceptive intelligence. Created by Dr. Edythe Heus and Marv Marinovich  (former coach of the NFL Raiders) the program is the result of their 45 years of combined  research and experience in testing and training over 5,000 professional athletes.

Engage Your Nervous System

Proprioception, the ability of the brain to know where the body is in space, is the most vital  aspect of any fitness program. Proprioceptive Intelligence is intelligence necessary  to stretch and strengthen muscles and ligaments for achieving maximum flexibility, joint  articulation, stamina, balance, neuromuscular coordination, increased circulation  (Cerebral spinal fluid, lymph, blood) and stress reduction. All movement-from autonomic  nervous system motion, such as breathing to the more complex activities in sports and  dance, occurs through proprioceptive intelligence. A person who has high proprioceptive  intelligence can most effectively integrate, coordinated, and utilize motion.

Never Caught Off Balance

Through the revolutionary concept of performing full range of motion exercises in "suspended  balance" Marinovich's/Heus' dynamic conditioning now makes it possible to train proprioceptive  intelligence to its highest level. This "suspended balance" system develops and maintains  the antigravity muscles located in the torso, the core stabilization, micro muscles located  on the spine and creates peak nervous system proficiency.

The exercises, structured to develop the body in a way most beneficial to maintaining health and  eliminating injury are performed through a progressive series of carefully developed sequences  each centered around a specific muscular area and function.

As an example, exercises that emphasize the muscles that secure the shoulder blade to the torso  are done early in the sequence to maximize on the stability of the pectoral girdle. This  stability provides an optimal foundation for the development and use of the shoulder muscles.  This revolutionary approach to enhanced athletic ability has yielded unprecedented results. The  benefits are immediate and translate directly into improved coordination, structural  alignment and vitality in ways never before seen.

Traditional weight training protocols are oblivious to this essential element leading to  depreciation in performance capabilities and injury.

Our appreciation of the importance of stretching a muscle before strengthening has resulted in the  development of what we call DYNAMIC CONDITIONING. During this part of our program, all muscles  are stretched prior to each contraction. This stimulates the joints, their connective tissues  and the muscles surrounding them, resulting in joint stabilization and joint proproiception.  This dynamic conditioning, in abbreviated form serves as a warm-up prior to games, resetting  muscle balance after, or restoration after injury or overuse.

We have had to modify, adapt and develop apparatus and equipment to vary resistance's and stresses  to achieve our training goals. To be competitive in the 21st century, every athlete, regardless  of natural ability and productivity needs this system. No athlete is too fast, too agile, too  explosive, in too good condition or too mentally tough.

As you can see from this brief overview of our program, we have made enormous advancements in the field  of athletic performance.

We have the future of training NOW.
