A Resource of Exercises to Pinpoint, Isolate & Strengthen Each Individual Muscle.

Active-Isolated Strengthening is a revolutionary technique in which we pinpoint, isolate and strengthen each individual muscle used to perform as a dancer or athlete at your highest potential: a tool box for the feet, ankles, calves, knees, hamstrings, quadriceps, hip and trunk, back and shoulders, with step by step instructions tailored to work specific muscle groups. This training program is backed by sound scientific goals and needs. Don't wait until you are injured to strengthen! You will learn a wealth of information to keep you at peak performance in and out of the doctor's office. this program goes hand in hand with the Active-Isolated Flexibility program also available on VHS and DVD.

Active-Isolated Flexibility is a technique of stretching in which we pinpoint, isolate and stretch each individual muscle used to perform to your highest potential. Join internationally renowned Director, Choreographer and Master Teacher, Michèle Assaf, as she takes you through a series of stretches that will reduce your workload by removing tightness so you can swing your limbs more freely. These stretches transport oxygen to sore muscles and quickly remove toxins from muscles, so recovery is faster.

AI works as a deep massage technique as it activates muscle fibers during stretching.The video gives close-up images and descriptions of all the exercises; how the rope is used and which muscle is contracting to relax the targeted muscle in preparation of its stretch. Then Michèle, with the help of Jim & Phil Wharton, will lead you through a complete Active Isolated Flexibility class. In this class you will improve your performance, increase flexibility and prevent injury... your tools to longevity.

AI Stretch is the ground breaking technique developed by researchers, coaches, and trainers, and pioneered by Jim & Phil Wharton.Jim Wharton, an exercise physiologist know as "the mechanic" for his ability to fine-tune athletes, and his son, Phil Wharton, a sports therapist and competitive long-distance runner, are president and vice-president of Wharton Performance, Inc. in New York City.

The Whartons' have trained and rehabilitated athletic luminaries from professional football players to dancers on the Broadway stage, track and field stars, and Olympic gold medalists. Their revolutionary Active-Isolated Flexibility are practiced in fitness centers all over the world.
