This book is a basic collection of exercises that we offer to clients of the FitzGordon Method Core Walking Program. Any one who walks in our door will receive a series of exercises meant to create a workout tailored for them specifically. We all need to work on different parts of their body to create a balanced whole and no two people are the same. At the FitzGordon Method we analyze our clients to help them rebuild their bodies in a conscious and specific way.While we work with all of these exercises and more, the idea is to only do the exercises you need to bring balance to a certain part of your body. You should test your ability in all of these exercises and, as long as you are doing them correctly, focus only on the ones that seem more difficult. The work is a search for ease in the body and ease in the mind. Once an exercise is easy enough you might do it once in a while for maintenance but continually focus on the muscle groups that don't work as well as others and maintain the discipline required to develop a balanced body.
