4. This online Certified Core Isolators
Instructor Course was developed to give
exercise and health professionals a simple
starter guide on working with Core Isolators.
This internationally recognized qualification
acknowledges the holder as an educated
instructor.
Core Isolators are the latest innovation in
core strengthening training. The device
is based on the premise of an unbalanced
environment forces the body to work harder
and consequently become stronger.
The unique award-winning scientific design of
the foot plate forces core muscles throughout
the body to become actively engaged. Just
by standing on it you are actively training your
core muscles. As little as one minute a day is
beneficial.
Following the simple exercise guidelines
outlined based on sound training principals,
this course will enable certified instructors to
provide quality training instruction.
Contribution and comment from doctors,
osteopaths, physiotherapists, coaches,
and athletes provide a holistic overview
guaranteeing a thorough understanding for all
participants.
A key objective of this course is to provide
a strong foundation level of knowledge for
certified instructors to maximize the benefits
associated with exercising with the product.

5. Core Isolators were developed by ATFCA
track and field coach, and ex-professional
rugby union player, Mepi Faoagali. (Based
in Brisbane, Australia Mepi works with elite
amateur and professional athletes from all
sports specializing in “grass athletics” and
core stabilization.)
The simple yet effective device was borne out
of a need to replicate the sprint position of the
foot as it strikes the ground. The ball of the
foot is the only contact point with the ground
during the striking sprint motion. Having the
ability to replicate and isolate the contact
point between foot and ground is an extremely
powerful and useful tool.

6. Core Isolators work so effectively because
they remove the balancing properties of the
heel and toes.
This forces core stabilizer muscles throughout
the entire body to become engaged, and
consequently, they become stronger.

This section outlines “Recovery Mode” which
is the optimum standing recovery position.
Activity:
Stand with feet shoulder width apart, focus on
putting your body weight through your heels,
lock the knees. Sit your weight through your
heels. Stand in this position for a moment and
become aware of muscle engagement.
Q. What do you notice?
A. Anything?
Did you know...
ff It’s very efficient to stand in this position.
ff It doesn’t take much energy.
ff We can relax our skeletal muscles as our
body weight is supported more through
our bone structure.
ff Physically the body is in a very relaxed
state.

Did you know that standing in this position
is very efficient in terms of energy output?
Because your bone structure; the tibia, femur,
pelvis are taking the weight – helping maintain
our body erection.
Q. When standing in this position what is
happening to your core?
A. Anything?
Did you notice...
ff Standing in this position (weight through
your heels) it allows stomach muscles to
be relaxed.
ff The core is not fully engaged.
ff Which makes it’s easier to engage in
abdominal breathing.
What is abdominal breathing?
Using the diaphragm to inspire ourselves.
Using the muscles of the stomach and
abdomen to expand and draw air into the
lungs.
TIP FOR SPORTS PEOPLE: You will recover
faster in a shorter time if you use abdominal
breathing as opposed to chest breathing.
If you are an athlete or train athletes where
recovery is an important in performance e.g.
rugby, football/soccer, netball, then during
down time e.g. when the game stops for a
period of time – stand with weight through
heels, relax the core, and start abdominal
breathing.
Guaranteed to recover quicker.
When standing in this position we call it
“recovery mode”.
Why is this important for Core Isolators?
Good questions, the answer is: the direct
opposite of “Recovery Mode” – “Active
Mode” is the secret why Core Isolators are so
successful.

“Active Mode” is why Core Isolators are so
effective.
In “recovery mode” we note that the bone
structure is supporting our weight and the
relaxed core allows the ability to engage in
abdominal breathing.
Getting into “Active Mode” is very easy.
Step 1. Stand in recovery mode (weight
through heels, muscles relaxed)
Step 2. Now, raise heels off the ground and
balance on toes and ball of feet.
Q. Stand maintaining balance for 30
seconds. What do you notice about your
core and stomach muscles?
A. Anything?

Did you notice…
In this position we reduce the structural
bone support provided normally through the
heel, tibia, and femur.
In this position your skeletal muscle structure
has now been engaged to support your weight.
It’s harder to engage in abdominal breathing
because our stomach muscles are activated.
In this position our core is forced to become
engaged.
Core Isolators place the body in this
position and forces all the stabilizer muscles
throughout the body to work harder.
Core Isolators have been scientifically
biomechanically designed to remove the
balancing properties of the toes and heels
thereby forcing stabilizer muscles to work
harder and become stronger.

Static exercise, also referred to as isometric
exercise or isometrics, is a type of strength
training in which the joint angle and muscle
length do not change during contraction.
The comparative opposite is dynamic
exercise, which includes concentric and
eccentric contractions, also known as
isotonic movements.
Static exercises are done in stationary
positions rather than movement through a
range of motion. Joints and muscles are either
worked against an immovable force or are held
in position while opposed by resistance.
Static exercise is a form of exercise involving
the static contraction of a muscle without any
visible movement in the angle of the joint.
This is reflected in the name “isometric”; the
term combines Greek prefixes “iso” (same)
with “metric” (distance), meaning that in these
exercises the length of the muscle and the
angle of the joint do not change.

Resistance during static exercise involves
contraction of the muscle using:
1. The body’s own structure including
contact points.
2. Stationary items (e.g., a fence when
pushing against it)
3. Free weights, weights machines or elastic
equipment (e.g. holding a weight in a
fixed position)
4. Electronic equipment that has a digital
display indicating maximal force.
5. Other
Depending on the goal of the exercise, the
exertion can be maximal, or sub-maximal.

Static exercise is extremely beneficial for
all levels of fitness. From the elite to the
elderly, every person can perform and
benefit from static exercise.
Because there is no movement static exercise
is very effective for people with limited
mobility or range of movement. All individuals
regardless of mobility can perform static
exercises.
High intensity workouts can be performed
regardless of the level of fitness. The intensity
and effort is relative to the individual which
means that comparative output does not apply.

Static exercises can raise blood pressure
for the duration of the exercise. While it
will return to a resting level soon after, it is
important to breath continuously throughout
the duration exercises. Breath holding
will only compound any increases in blood
pressure.
As with all forms of exercise warm up first.
Muscles are under tension for a period of
time and although that tension is constant
compared to a dynamic contraction, tears can
still occur.
Always maintain some degree of tension in the
abdominal region during all exercises. This will
help to maintain a correct posture and will help
to develop core stability.

Volume for a strength training resistance
routine is prescribed based on the number of
sets and repetitions. The equivalent in static
exercises is the length of time each action is
held for and the number repetitions in total.
Elite sports men and women can hold their
core for maximal effort for anywhere between
5 to 9 seconds – give or take a second or two.
The reason is that muscles require oxygen, the
muscle begin to fatigue when oxygen supplies
become depleted.
Example 1.
An Olympic 100m sprinter’s core muscles
begin to fatigue after approximately 5
seconds, at this point they begin to slow down.
Muscles run out of oxygen, begin to fatigue,
performance reduced.
Example 2.
Weight and power lifters need to complete
their lift before their core muscles fatigue out.
Usually most lifts will be completed within 6 to
8 second time frame.

Dynamic or isotonic exercise is a type of
training which the joints move and muscles
contract and elongate. Dynamic exercise
involves isotonic contraction, tension
remains unchanged and the muscle’s length
changes. Lifting an object at a constant
speed is an example of isotonic contractions.
There are two types of isotonic contractions:
1. concentric and
2. eccentric.

In a concentric contraction, the muscle
tension rises to meet the resistance, then
remains the same as the muscle shortens.
This type is typical of most exercise. The
external force on the muscle is less than the
force the muscle is generating – a shortening
contraction.
CONCENTRIC

In eccentric, the muscle lengthens due to the
resistance being greater than the force the
muscle is producing.
Note:
There are two main features to note regarding
eccentric contractions. First, the absolute
tensions achieved can be very high relative
to the muscle’s maximum tetanic tension
generating capacity (you can set down a much
heavier object than you can lift).
Second, the absolute tension is relatively
independent of lengthening velocity. This
suggests that skeletal muscles are very
resistant to lengthening, thereby allowing very
high levels of tension to develop as can occur
in isometric exercise.

the body goes through when in these
position.
2. Then position the Core Isolators
approximately shoulder width apart
directly in front of each foot. Judgment
call shoes vs bare feet.
3. Tell your client to focus on the platinum
“Athletica” logo as a reference point,
connect contact points (e.g. Hold on
object) and step onto the Core Isolators
one foot at a time.
4. The toes hang over the edge and the ball
of the foot is the contact point.
5. The “Athletica” platinum badge should be
visible at all times.
6. If the badge is not visible move feet
slightly back.
7. Feel for the body’s balance points and
take weight in stand alone position.
8. Commence workout.

There are two styles of getting off Core
Isolators
ff Step Off
ff Fall Off
To Step Off
1. Hold onto support/stationary object with
hands.
2. Lift one foot at a time, step back onto the
ground.
To fall off the Core Isolators indicates
performing an exercise beyond physical
capability.
Gradually increase overload (refer to
progression table) to improve core strength
and balance.
Ensure that the core is strengthened gradually
and training is overloaded in sequence to
ability and strength.

Another key benefit of using Core Isolators
is the “get off” effect. When using Core
Isolators stabilizer muscles become actively
and intensively engaged. Because of the
activity the brain transports oxygenated
blood to these muscles and consequencly
they become “switched on”.
The result is that a cycle starts; stabilizer
muscles have been activated and the brain
sends oxygenated blood to those muscles, the
stabilizer muscles start receiving oxygenated
blood and become more engaged and the
brain sends more oxygenated blood.
This is why when you get off the Core Isolators
you will notice that you mobility and agility
have immediately improved. As this cycle
continues for a period of time your core will be
switched on you’ll notice an added bounce in
your step.

The absolutely best exercise tip is this:
Stand on Core Isolators while brushing
your teeth. The brushing motion is perfect
overload when standing on your Core
Isolators.
Lock the shoulders down and back, soft in the
knees, pelvic tilted slightly forward. Left hand
brush then swap to right hand brush, slow
fast, up, down, circular, reverse. Add in hip
rotations, excellent way to start the day.
Not only (1) are they getting a great core
workout and (2) “waking up” their core for
the morning but (3) they’re getting their teeth
cleaned at the same time! Is that even legal?

Who’s got good core strength and balance?
Core Isolators are so effective as little as 1
minute a day is enough to get a workout.
In fact we challenge first timers to last 1
minute.
From our experience out of all the people who
have trialled Core Isolators only about 5% of
the population have lasted over 60 seconds on
their first time. Inventor Mepi Faoagali took 3
weeks to get up to 1 minute.
The 1-Minute Challenge is a great opportunity
to introduce Core Isolators to your clients.
The 1 Minute Challenge Rules.
1. Never tried before, no practising, 5 minute
walking warm-up permitted, when on,
timing starts.
2. Bare feet or socks.
3. Generally toes not allowed to touch the
stability ledge.
4. If a beginner can last 60 seconds then
they are a member of a special group of
people!
Give it a go. Film it and post to our
Facebook page.
