The ActivMotion Bar Story
The ActivMotion Bar story starts with a personal trainer named Derek Mikulski. Up until the age of 18,
Derek was very unhealthy and overweight, tipping the scales at well over 260 pounds. At the age of
18, Derek decided to make a change. Through hard work and self-education, Derek lost over 80
pounds and became committed to helping others experience greater health through fitness.
Fast-forward eight years. Derek was working at Life Time Fitness as a personal trainer after obtaining
various fitness degrees and certifications. Although his clients were always able to develop strength
in foundational movement patterns like squats, deadlifts and presses, he observed that all of them,
young and old, athletic and non-athletic, had the same shortcomings: poor mind-muscle
coordination and a weak core and stability system.
Because balance platforms train stability from the ground up and water/sand filled tools were too
uncontrollable, intimidating and heavy for most people to use properly, Derek sought to create
functional instability that could be placed in the hands of all clients to challenge them in new,
dynamic ways.
Through a series of building prototypes in has garage and testing them with other trainers and
clients, Derek landed on a formula that worked in late 2011 with his “reinvented fitness bar”; a hollow
bar filled with steel ball bearings that moved gently in a smooth, controllable manner to challenge
the mind and body. One of Derek’s clients, a retired executive name John (whom lost 40 pounds
training with Derek) immediately saw the potential of Derek’s new fitness device and decided to
invest capital into filing for a patent and funding the construction of more prototypes for testing.
Fast-forward another three years. Derek and John launched ActivMotion in late 2013 and have been
successfully building the organization ever since. Current customers include some of largest fitness
facilities in the world, pro and collegiate sports teams, rehabilitation centers, sport-specific training
centers, and individually owned personal and group training studios.
Our slogan of, “Fitness. Innovation. A Stronger World.” is something that our company lives and
breaths by everyday. It is our goal to innovate fitness to contribute to the creation of a stronger, fitter
world.
We truly hope that our products and education bring great value and success to you and your clients.

About Disruptive Training™
Back in the Fall of 2013, Robert Sherman (ActivMotion Bar Master Trainer) and creator Derek Mikulski
were sitting in an office in a Chicago high-rise scratching their heads. They had this incredible new
fitness tool (the ActivMotion Bar) and an innovative, progressive educational training system to pair it
with. They were confounded because, at the time, they had no idea what they wanted to call this new
modality that could potentially disrupt everything being taught by fitness professionals to their clients
in one-on-one and group fitness classes.
And then it struck them – the whole idea behind introducing the ActivMotion Bar into the training
environment is to disrupt typical movement patterns in order to activate and engage the body in
new, dynamic and functional ways. The term “disrupt” not only summed up the company’s intent
from a business, innovation and education standpoint, but it also clearly illustrated what they were
introducing to every exercise. Thus, Disruptive Training™ was born.
Disruptive Training can simply be thought of as the use of dynamic shifting resistance inside
ActivMotion Bars to disrupt the body’s typical movement patterns so that greater stability strength,
body awareness and reactive core strength are developed.
Through three progressive phases of training (Disrupt, Discover, and Define), Disruptive Training
brings real, genuine results to anyone looking to boost their level of fitness through a stronger core
and stronger stability system.
Disrupt: This is the first phase of training. Muscle activation and stability strength are the goals here.
In this phase, we activate and strengthen the core “anchor” that is the basis of all movement.
Exercises are primarily done on the floor with little movement as the weights inside the ActivMotion
shift to “disrupt” isolation and challenge the core and stability muscles.
Discover: This is the second phase of training. Under the assumption that in the disrupt phase
clients learned how to engage their core and control the unstable ActivMotion Bar while on the floor,
we now begin moving more dynamically on the floor and standing as we focus on challenging the
body to work as one unit.
Define: This is the third and final phase of training. Now that we have achieved core and joint
stability strength and have developed a deeper mind-muscle connection through the first two
phases, its time to teach reactive core strength. We will now introduce movement in multiple planes
of motion. These movements are even more dynamic and involve the concept of momentum as the
internal weights of the ActivMotion Bar force eccentric muscle activation when the bar is tilted and
tipped from side to side as the client(s) bend and rotate.
  5
Course Overview
The essence of Disruptive Training is to establish efficient movement patterns and elicit core and
joint stability strength adaptations. In the Disruptive Training course, instructors will learn how to
significantly improve their client’s levels of fitness by challenging them with a completely new training
stimulus - an unstable load. Through the client’s experience with the Disruptive Training unstable
stimulus, they will progressively: Disrupt their habitual movement patterns as the unstable load pulls
them out of position, thus encouraging activation and strengthening of under-active muscles;
Discover how to integrate movement through the entire kinetic chain as they sense the shifting
weight and continuously connect their mind and muscles to correct the instability; and Define
movement learned in the prior two phases by being challenged with large, multi-planar, athletic
exercises that require all kinesthetic systems to engage and complement one another. Instructors will
learn how to progressively disrupt, discover and define in core, balance and strength based
movements to stimulate their client’s body’s to change and adapt with a higher level of fitness.
Course Objective: To become a certified ActivMotion Bar Trainer
In this course, you will:
1.Have developed a comprehensive understanding of the Disruptive Training System.
2.Have developed a meaningful understanding of the rationale provided for training with an unstable
load.
3.Be fully capable of developing and instructing Disruptive Training exercises and programs to clients
and colleagues, including using correct cueing, progressions and regressions (when necessary).
4.Understand the science and benefits involved with ActivMotion Bars and Disruptive Training.

SCHOOL OF KINESIOLOGY | UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
HUMAN PERFORMANCE INNOVATION LAB
The Science
In the Winter of 2014, the University of Michigan sought to answer the question, “Does the
ActivMotion Bar enhance muscle activity, relative to standard fitness equipment?” Researchers chose
two conventional fitness tools (medicine balls and standard aerobic bars) to compare ActivMotion
Bars against in a completely blind study.
Researchers had a large group of randomized participants (fit and unfit, young and old, male and
female) come into the University research lab and engage in a completely random series of exercises
using all three tools. Using surface electromyography (EMG) technology, they measures muscle
activity in all participants in the following areas:
- Deltoids
- Internal Obliques
- External Obliques
- Erector Spinae
- Rectus Abdomen
- Trapezius
- Latissimus Dorsi
- Vastus Medialis
- Lateral Gastrocnemius
- Pectoralis Major
  7
Science Continued
Ultimately, the study found that the shifting resistance inside ActivMotion Bars caused every tested
muscle or muscle group to be activated up to 173% more than the standard fitness tools. The core
muscles (muscles located from the ribs to hips around the body) were especially “turned on” by
ActivMotion Bars.
Researchers concluded that, “Ostensibly, the increase in muscle activation was the result of
ActivMotion Bar's internal passive weights, which generated a dynamic moment of inertia, thereby
enhancing the stabilizing demands on all the muscles.”
  8
Science Continued
Measuring muscle activation simply quantifies the extent to which a muscle or a muscle group fires
(or contracts). Greater muscle activation with the ActivMotion Bar can lead to:
1. Increased Strength
More muscle activation improves the muscle’s ability to contract and get stronger. Because
ActivMotion Bars activate muscles up to 173% more than standard fitness tools, people will
experience much quicker strength adaptations versus using standard static fitness tools.
2. Improved Coordination
During exercises aimed at improving coordination, the ActivMotion Bar forces users to “slow down”
their movements and sense imbalances within the bar to keep the internal shifting weights in the
center. In doing this, people “feel” and “hear” the internal weights shifting, and correct imbalances
by activating their muscles to a greater degree. Over time, the multisensory mind-muscle work
involved in keeping the bar balanced will improve coordination significantly.
3. Lower Risk of Injury
The shifting resistance inside ActivMotion Bars increases one’s stability and balance abilities by
activating and strengthening the most important “balance” muscles in the core and around joints. If
you find yourself slipping on ice, tripping or losing your balance in general, the strong framework of
core and joint stability muscles you built using the ActivMotion Bar can help you catch yourself before
tumbling to the ground!
4. More Core, More Athleticism
ActivMotion Bar exercises and programs are largely based around core strength and stability training
for the simple reason that a strong core is crucial for any fitness or sport-related goal to be
accomplished. Many lateral (side to side) and rotational movements are part of ActivMotion Bar
workouts because it is in these planes of motion that people are typically the weakest and incur
injury.
5. Greater Energy Expenditure and a More Efficient Workout
Muscles require energy to contract or activate. Our energy is mostly made from the calories we ingest
through food or from burning our body fat. More muscle activation means more energy is required to
fuel our working muscles. Because ActivMotion Bars activate muscles to a much greater extent than
standard fitness tools, ActivMotion Bar workouts will burn more calories, creating a more efficient
workout in less time.
  9
Differentiating ActivMotion Bars From Other Tools
ActivMotion Bars are not the first fitness tools to offer a top-down unstable training stimulus. Sand
and water-filled tools have been around for a long time, however they are very different from
ActivMotion Bars. Here is how to distinguish ActivMotion Bars from these other tools:
- Most sand and water filled tools are far too heavy for most people to use properly. Today’s
deconditioned clientele (from overweight individuals to seniors) and athletes alike need a
functional stimulus that allows them to recruit the intricate stability muscle system. Heavy water
and sand filled tools force the use of global muscles that are already overactive to control the
heavy load. ActivMotion Bars provide an instability that is manageable and functional for
everyone.
- A large reason for introducing ActivMotion Bars into the training environment is to create
functional, manageable instability. Water is too uncontrollable and too violent in nature to
keep at equilibrium, and sand is not mobile enough to create the functional instability needed
to ignite the core and joint stability muscles.
- People are familiar with age-old fitness bars. They are non-intimidating and using them is quite
intuitive. ActivMotion Bars were designed to look like standard fitness bars for this very reason;
to be simple in nature and useful for everyone, regardless of fitness level or age.
- Disruptive Training exercises are often prescribed while working in isolation – using sand or
shot-filled tools during these movements would be the same as using a static weight, like a
medicine ball.
- Due to the length of ActivMotion Bars, the rolling weights inside the bars shift across a surface
area that spans well outside of one’s center of mass (this concept is further highlighted on
page 20). Because of this, the need to stabilize is much greater than with other instability tools.

ActivMotion Bar Fundamentals
Before you learn about training with ActivMotion Bars and teaching the Disruptive Training modality,
you must first understand ActivMotion Bars from beginning to end.
ActivMotion Bars are hollow and partially filled with rolling steel weights that glide smoothly, gently
and quietly within. They are available in six variations: 4.5, 6, 8, 10, 15 and 18-pounds. The 4.5LB
Compact variation is 4’ in length, and all others are 5’.
ActivMotion Bars are made of steel, and the rolling steel weights (ball bearings) inside the Bars
cannot be adjusted. All ActivMotion Bars are sealed at each end with a steel rivet that ensures the
rolling weights will never come out. A thick colored rubber end cap covers the seal fixture at each
end of the Bar.
All ActivMotion Bars are powder coated with a glossy textured grey surface that is resistant to
scratches and does not allow germs to permeate like foam-covered surfaces do.
4’ Compact Variation 5’ Variations

Cueing Fundamental #1 - Grip
As we begin teaching how to use ActivMotion Bars, the first variable we will visit is grip. Grip is a very
important variable because it will directly affect the level of instability created by the ActivMotion Bar.
ActivMotion Bars have white lines (grip indicators) that can be found exactly 18” from each end of the
bar. Additionally, the ActivMotion Bar logo is placed directly in the center of the bar. Collectively,
these three marks will serve as reference points when determining grip.

General Movement Cueing
Now that you are familiar with the four key ActivMotion Bar cueing categories, we will visit some
general movement cues. In one on one, small group training or large group classes, each new
ActivMotion Bar exercise should be taught to client(s) using the tell, show, do-method.

Disruptive Training Programming
It is important to understand the physiological systems that govern the development of stability
strength, balance and overall fitness as they relate to Disruptive Training. The following pages will
highlight some of the most important systems and concepts that serve as a foundation for Disruptive
Training education. We will begin by observing the nervous system and how the brain communicates
with muscle tissue to create human movement.
  18
The Nervous System
The nervous system has two main parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous
system. The central nervous system (CNS) is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral
nervous system (PNS) is made up of the nerve fibers that branch off from the spinal cord and span to
all parts of the body, including the extremities, organs and, most important to us, the muscles.
The brain communicates with muscle tissue through motor neurons and a series of electrical impulses
transmitted through these neurons to create a constant feedback loop.
Through using the ActivMotion Bar in Disruptive Training, we are reinforcing and building this
feedback loop as the body is forced to continuously connect the mind with the muscles to correct
imbalances. The dynamic shifting resistance inside the ActivMotion Bar causes more muscle tissue to
activate and communicate with the brain as the body attempts to maintain stability. This is the
essence of the Disrupt phase of Disruptive Training.
  19
Proprioception
Proprioception is the body’s ability to transmit a sense of position, analyze that information in the
CNS and react to the stimulation with the proper activation of muscles. The sub-systems within the
nervous system that govern our sense of position in space are the musculoskeletal system, the visual
system and the vestibular system.
As mentioned at the beginning of this manual, Disruptive Training is about disrupting what the body
is used to in the way of exercise stimulus so that we are able to build better mind-muscle
communication. Every movement prescribed in the training system incorporates a “Feel it, Hear it,
React” pattern that correlates with the development of better balance and proprioceptive abilities.
In Disruptive Training, we are building the communication channels between our brain and our
muscles by involving multiple senses so that our muscles fire optimally when they are called upon in
exercise or in life.
Through attempting to keep the ActivMotion Bar parallel with the floor during stability strength and
balance exercises, multiple senses are engaged as we are forced to stabilize and utilize more core
and stability muscles.
Through tipping and tilting the ActivMotion Bar in bending or twisting exercises, finding “rhythm”
allows integrated movement from the core to the extremities that translates into better coordination
and reactive core bracing capabilities.

Biomechanics
Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of biological systems. This branch of science
takes laws of physics and mechanics to explain things like force vectors, levers and joint angles. There
are some simple biomechanics concepts that influenced the design of the ActivMotion Bar and the
forces that the ActivMotion Bar imposes on muscle tissue.
1.) Center of Mass
2.) Force Vectors
These illustrations show a person using a medicine ball (left) and ActivMotion Bar (right). Notice how
the center of mass (green line) shifts more to the right when using the ActivMotion Bar. This center of
mass shift is a large reason why ActivMotion Bars activate muscles of the core and extremities more;
as one’s center of mass changes, muscles of the trunk have to work to regain stability. The resistance
traveling across the full length of the bar creates a longer lever arm (red line), also causing more core
activation.

Thought Process for Program Design
There are many ways that ActivMotion Bars can be integrated into new and existing classes and
workouts. For example, standard fitness bars or barbells can be replaced with ActivMotion Bars for a
completely new, innovative and dynamic member experience. ActivMotion Bar workouts/classes can
also stand alone on class schedules for new, innovative and exciting member offerings. Last,
ActivMotion Bars can be placed on the general training floor for members and trainers to use in small
group training and one on one personal training sessions.
Our goal through teaching this programming section is to NOT put boundaries or limitations on the
ways that ActivMotion Bars can be used. Instead, our goal is to provide instructors with a general
framework of systems and processes that can be used to create unique offerings based on the needs
of members and clients.
Lets begin by revisiting the three phases that create Disruptive Training:
These three phases are done in core, balance and strength training protocols.
  22
Thought Process for Program Design (Continued)
To recap, Disrupt (activate), Discover, (Integrate) and Define (react) are our phases of training, and
each can take place in core, balance and strength training contexts.
Disrupt – Core Core activation movements
Discover – Core Core integration movements
Define – Core Dynamic, reactive multiplanar core-centered movements
Disrupt – Balance Small movements that activate key balance muscles
Discover – Balance Fully integrated balance movements
Define – Balance Dynamic, reactive multiplanar balance movements
Disrupt – Strength Small movements focusing on activation of the hip stability system
Discover – Strength Integrated full body strength movements
Define – Strength Big reactive full body athletic movements

  • 3.   3         The ActivMotion Bar Story The ActivMotion Bar story starts with a personal trainer named Derek Mikulski. Up until the age of 18, Derek was very unhealthy and overweight, tipping the scales at well over 260 pounds. At the age of 18, Derek decided to make a change. Through hard work and self-education, Derek lost over 80 pounds and became committed to helping others experience greater health through fitness. Fast-forward eight years. Derek was working at Life Time Fitness as a personal trainer after obtaining various fitness degrees and certifications. Although his clients were always able to develop strength in foundational movement patterns like squats, deadlifts and presses, he observed that all of them, young and old, athletic and non-athletic, had the same shortcomings: poor mind-muscle coordination and a weak core and stability system. Because balance platforms train stability from the ground up and water/sand filled tools were too uncontrollable, intimidating and heavy for most people to use properly, Derek sought to create functional instability that could be placed in the hands of all clients to challenge them in new, dynamic ways. Through a series of building prototypes in has garage and testing them with other trainers and clients, Derek landed on a formula that worked in late 2011 with his “reinvented fitness bar”; a hollow bar filled with steel ball bearings that moved gently in a smooth, controllable manner to challenge the mind and body. One of Derek’s clients, a retired executive name John (whom lost 40 pounds training with Derek) immediately saw the potential of Derek’s new fitness device and decided to invest capital into filing for a patent and funding the construction of more prototypes for testing. Fast-forward another three years. Derek and John launched ActivMotion in late 2013 and have been successfully building the organization ever since. Current customers include some of largest fitness facilities in the world, pro and collegiate sports teams, rehabilitation centers, sport-specific training centers, and individually owned personal and group training studios. Our slogan of, “Fitness. Innovation. A Stronger World.” is something that our company lives and breaths by everyday. It is our goal to innovate fitness to contribute to the creation of a stronger, fitter world. We truly hope that our products and education bring great value and success to you and your clients.  
  • 4.   4 About Disruptive Training™ Back in the Fall of 2013, Robert Sherman (ActivMotion Bar Master Trainer) and creator Derek Mikulski were sitting in an office in a Chicago high-rise scratching their heads. They had this incredible new fitness tool (the ActivMotion Bar) and an innovative, progressive educational training system to pair it with. They were confounded because, at the time, they had no idea what they wanted to call this new modality that could potentially disrupt everything being taught by fitness professionals to their clients in one-on-one and group fitness classes. And then it struck them – the whole idea behind introducing the ActivMotion Bar into the training environment is to disrupt typical movement patterns in order to activate and engage the body in new, dynamic and functional ways. The term “disrupt” not only summed up the company’s intent from a business, innovation and education standpoint, but it also clearly illustrated what they were introducing to every exercise. Thus, Disruptive Training™ was born. Disruptive Training can simply be thought of as the use of dynamic shifting resistance inside ActivMotion Bars to disrupt the body’s typical movement patterns so that greater stability strength, body awareness and reactive core strength are developed. Through three progressive phases of training (Disrupt, Discover, and Define), Disruptive Training brings real, genuine results to anyone looking to boost their level of fitness through a stronger core and stronger stability system. Disrupt: This is the first phase of training. Muscle activation and stability strength are the goals here. In this phase, we activate and strengthen the core “anchor” that is the basis of all movement. Exercises are primarily done on the floor with little movement as the weights inside the ActivMotion shift to “disrupt” isolation and challenge the core and stability muscles. Discover: This is the second phase of training. Under the assumption that in the disrupt phase clients learned how to engage their core and control the unstable ActivMotion Bar while on the floor, we now begin moving more dynamically on the floor and standing as we focus on challenging the body to work as one unit. Define: This is the third and final phase of training. Now that we have achieved core and joint stability strength and have developed a deeper mind-muscle connection through the first two phases, its time to teach reactive core strength. We will now introduce movement in multiple planes of motion. These movements are even more dynamic and involve the concept of momentum as the internal weights of the ActivMotion Bar force eccentric muscle activation when the bar is tilted and tipped from side to side as the client(s) bend and rotate.
  • 5.   5 Course Overview The essence of Disruptive Training is to establish efficient movement patterns and elicit core and joint stability strength adaptations. In the Disruptive Training course, instructors will learn how to significantly improve their client’s levels of fitness by challenging them with a completely new training stimulus - an unstable load. Through the client’s experience with the Disruptive Training unstable stimulus, they will progressively: Disrupt their habitual movement patterns as the unstable load pulls them out of position, thus encouraging activation and strengthening of under-active muscles; Discover how to integrate movement through the entire kinetic chain as they sense the shifting weight and continuously connect their mind and muscles to correct the instability; and Define movement learned in the prior two phases by being challenged with large, multi-planar, athletic exercises that require all kinesthetic systems to engage and complement one another. Instructors will learn how to progressively disrupt, discover and define in core, balance and strength based movements to stimulate their client’s body’s to change and adapt with a higher level of fitness. Course Objective: To become a certified ActivMotion Bar Trainer In this course, you will: 1.Have developed a comprehensive understanding of the Disruptive Training System. 2.Have developed a meaningful understanding of the rationale provided for training with an unstable load. 3.Be fully capable of developing and instructing Disruptive Training exercises and programs to clients and colleagues, including using correct cueing, progressions and regressions (when necessary). 4.Understand the science and benefits involved with ActivMotion Bars and Disruptive Training.
  • 6.   6 SCHOOL OF KINESIOLOGY | UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN HUMAN PERFORMANCE INNOVATION LAB The Science In the Winter of 2014, the University of Michigan sought to answer the question, “Does the ActivMotion Bar enhance muscle activity, relative to standard fitness equipment?” Researchers chose two conventional fitness tools (medicine balls and standard aerobic bars) to compare ActivMotion Bars against in a completely blind study. Researchers had a large group of randomized participants (fit and unfit, young and old, male and female) come into the University research lab and engage in a completely random series of exercises using all three tools. Using surface electromyography (EMG) technology, they measures muscle activity in all participants in the following areas: - Deltoids - Internal Obliques - External Obliques - Erector Spinae - Rectus Abdomen - Trapezius - Latissimus Dorsi - Vastus Medialis - Lateral Gastrocnemius - Pectoralis Major
  • 7.   7 Science Continued Ultimately, the study found that the shifting resistance inside ActivMotion Bars caused every tested muscle or muscle group to be activated up to 173% more than the standard fitness tools. The core muscles (muscles located from the ribs to hips around the body) were especially “turned on” by ActivMotion Bars. Researchers concluded that, “Ostensibly, the increase in muscle activation was the result of ActivMotion Bar's internal passive weights, which generated a dynamic moment of inertia, thereby enhancing the stabilizing demands on all the muscles.”
  • 8.   8 Science Continued Measuring muscle activation simply quantifies the extent to which a muscle or a muscle group fires (or contracts). Greater muscle activation with the ActivMotion Bar can lead to: 1. Increased Strength More muscle activation improves the muscle’s ability to contract and get stronger. Because ActivMotion Bars activate muscles up to 173% more than standard fitness tools, people will experience much quicker strength adaptations versus using standard static fitness tools. 2. Improved Coordination During exercises aimed at improving coordination, the ActivMotion Bar forces users to “slow down” their movements and sense imbalances within the bar to keep the internal shifting weights in the center. In doing this, people “feel” and “hear” the internal weights shifting, and correct imbalances by activating their muscles to a greater degree. Over time, the multisensory mind-muscle work involved in keeping the bar balanced will improve coordination significantly. 3. Lower Risk of Injury The shifting resistance inside ActivMotion Bars increases one’s stability and balance abilities by activating and strengthening the most important “balance” muscles in the core and around joints. If you find yourself slipping on ice, tripping or losing your balance in general, the strong framework of core and joint stability muscles you built using the ActivMotion Bar can help you catch yourself before tumbling to the ground! 4. More Core, More Athleticism ActivMotion Bar exercises and programs are largely based around core strength and stability training for the simple reason that a strong core is crucial for any fitness or sport-related goal to be accomplished. Many lateral (side to side) and rotational movements are part of ActivMotion Bar workouts because it is in these planes of motion that people are typically the weakest and incur injury. 5. Greater Energy Expenditure and a More Efficient Workout Muscles require energy to contract or activate. Our energy is mostly made from the calories we ingest through food or from burning our body fat. More muscle activation means more energy is required to fuel our working muscles. Because ActivMotion Bars activate muscles to a much greater extent than standard fitness tools, ActivMotion Bar workouts will burn more calories, creating a more efficient workout in less time.
  • 9.   9 Differentiating ActivMotion Bars From Other Tools ActivMotion Bars are not the first fitness tools to offer a top-down unstable training stimulus. Sand and water-filled tools have been around for a long time, however they are very different from ActivMotion Bars. Here is how to distinguish ActivMotion Bars from these other tools: - Most sand and water filled tools are far too heavy for most people to use properly. Today’s deconditioned clientele (from overweight individuals to seniors) and athletes alike need a functional stimulus that allows them to recruit the intricate stability muscle system. Heavy water and sand filled tools force the use of global muscles that are already overactive to control the heavy load. ActivMotion Bars provide an instability that is manageable and functional for everyone. - A large reason for introducing ActivMotion Bars into the training environment is to create functional, manageable instability. Water is too uncontrollable and too violent in nature to keep at equilibrium, and sand is not mobile enough to create the functional instability needed to ignite the core and joint stability muscles. - People are familiar with age-old fitness bars. They are non-intimidating and using them is quite intuitive. ActivMotion Bars were designed to look like standard fitness bars for this very reason; to be simple in nature and useful for everyone, regardless of fitness level or age. - Disruptive Training exercises are often prescribed while working in isolation – using sand or shot-filled tools during these movements would be the same as using a static weight, like a medicine ball. - Due to the length of ActivMotion Bars, the rolling weights inside the bars shift across a surface area that spans well outside of one’s center of mass (this concept is further highlighted on page 20). Because of this, the need to stabilize is much greater than with other instability tools.    
  • 10.   10 ActivMotion Bar Fundamentals Before you learn about training with ActivMotion Bars and teaching the Disruptive Training modality, you must first understand ActivMotion Bars from beginning to end. ActivMotion Bars are hollow and partially filled with rolling steel weights that glide smoothly, gently and quietly within. They are available in six variations: 4.5, 6, 8, 10, 15 and 18-pounds. The 4.5LB Compact variation is 4’ in length, and all others are 5’. ActivMotion Bars are made of steel, and the rolling steel weights (ball bearings) inside the Bars cannot be adjusted. All ActivMotion Bars are sealed at each end with a steel rivet that ensures the rolling weights will never come out. A thick colored rubber end cap covers the seal fixture at each end of the Bar. All ActivMotion Bars are powder coated with a glossy textured grey surface that is resistant to scratches and does not allow germs to permeate like foam-covered surfaces do. 4’ Compact Variation 5’ Variations
  • 11.   11 Cueing Fundamental #1 - Grip As we begin teaching how to use ActivMotion Bars, the first variable we will visit is grip. Grip is a very important variable because it will directly affect the level of instability created by the ActivMotion Bar. ActivMotion Bars have white lines (grip indicators) that can be found exactly 18” from each end of the bar. Additionally, the ActivMotion Bar logo is placed directly in the center of the bar. Collectively, these three marks will serve as reference points when determining grip. ê           Grip #1: Hands on white lines. Grip #2: Single Hand on center logo. Grip #3: Offset grip.

  • 17.   17 TM Disruptive Training Programming It is important to understand the physiological systems that govern the development of stability strength, balance and overall fitness as they relate to Disruptive Training. The following pages will highlight some of the most important systems and concepts that serve as a foundation for Disruptive Training education. We will begin by observing the nervous system and how the brain communicates with muscle tissue to create human movement.
  • 18.   18 The Nervous System The nervous system has two main parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system (CNS) is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is made up of the nerve fibers that branch off from the spinal cord and span to all parts of the body, including the extremities, organs and, most important to us, the muscles. The brain communicates with muscle tissue through motor neurons and a series of electrical impulses transmitted through these neurons to create a constant feedback loop. Through using the ActivMotion Bar in Disruptive Training, we are reinforcing and building this feedback loop as the body is forced to continuously connect the mind with the muscles to correct imbalances. The dynamic shifting resistance inside the ActivMotion Bar causes more muscle tissue to activate and communicate with the brain as the body attempts to maintain stability. This is the essence of the Disrupt phase of Disruptive Training.
  • 19.   19 Proprioception Proprioception is the body’s ability to transmit a sense of position, analyze that information in the CNS and react to the stimulation with the proper activation of muscles. The sub-systems within the nervous system that govern our sense of position in space are the musculoskeletal system, the visual system and the vestibular system. As mentioned at the beginning of this manual, Disruptive Training is about disrupting what the body is used to in the way of exercise stimulus so that we are able to build better mind-muscle communication. Every movement prescribed in the training system incorporates a “Feel it, Hear it, React” pattern that correlates with the development of better balance and proprioceptive abilities. In Disruptive Training, we are building the communication channels between our brain and our muscles by involving multiple senses so that our muscles fire optimally when they are called upon in exercise or in life. Through attempting to keep the ActivMotion Bar parallel with the floor during stability strength and balance exercises, multiple senses are engaged as we are forced to stabilize and utilize more core and stability muscles. Through tipping and tilting the ActivMotion Bar in bending or twisting exercises, finding “rhythm” allows integrated movement from the core to the extremities that translates into better coordination and reactive core bracing capabilities.

  • 20.   20 Biomechanics Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of biological systems. This branch of science takes laws of physics and mechanics to explain things like force vectors, levers and joint angles. There are some simple biomechanics concepts that influenced the design of the ActivMotion Bar and the forces that the ActivMotion Bar imposes on muscle tissue. 1.) Center of Mass 2.) Force Vectors These illustrations show a person using a medicine ball (left) and ActivMotion Bar (right). Notice how the center of mass (green line) shifts more to the right when using the ActivMotion Bar. This center of mass shift is a large reason why ActivMotion Bars activate muscles of the core and extremities more; as one’s center of mass changes, muscles of the trunk have to work to regain stability. The resistance traveling across the full length of the bar creates a longer lever arm (red line), also causing more core activation.

Thought Process for Program Design There are many ways that ActivMotion Bars can be integrated into new and existing classes and workouts. For example, standard fitness bars or barbells can be replaced with ActivMotion Bars for a completely new, innovative and dynamic member experience. ActivMotion Bar workouts/classes can also stand alone on class schedules for new, innovative and exciting member offerings. Last, ActivMotion Bars can be placed on the general training floor for members and trainers to use in small group training and one on one personal training sessions. Our goal through teaching this programming section is to NOT put boundaries or limitations on the ways that ActivMotion Bars can be used. Instead, our goal is to provide instructors with a general framework of systems and processes that can be used to create unique offerings based on the needs of members and clients. Lets begin by revisiting the three phases that create Disruptive Training: These three phases are done in core, balance and strength training protocols.
