The Future of Exercise Selection A Biomechanics-Driven Framework for Smarter Programming
Date: Thursday, January 29, 2026 Time: 7:00 p.m. EST Format: Virtual Via ZOOM Language: English PDCs:3 PDCs
Exercise selection is one of the most fundamental skills in coaching, rehabilitation, and performance programming, yet many professionals continue to rely on rigid progression and regression models, personal preference, or intuition to guide their decisions. These approaches often fail to account for individual differences in structure, movement strategy, range of motion, and compensation patterns, leading to inconsistent outcomes and stalled progress. As clients move differently, traditional models frequently break down, leaving practitioners guessing rather than programming with confidence.
In this webinar, Alex Effer, founder of Resilient Training and Rehabilitation and a renowned specialist in biomechanics-driven education, presents a principle-based approach to exercise selection that moves beyond surface-level anatomy and one-size-fits-all progressions. Drawing on his work with coaches, clinicians, and performance professionals worldwide, Alex introduces the Resilient Roadmap framework, a practical system that helps practitioners understand not only how to perform exercises but also when and why to use them.
Using real-world coaching and clinical examples, the session will explore how factors such as center of mass, force demands, joint position, and tissue contractility influence exercise outcomes. Participants will learn to intentionally categorize, scale, and modify exercises, enabling clear progression and regression strategies that remain effective across rehabilitation, general fitness, and performance settings.
Designed for trainers, coaches, and clinicians seeking a stronger bridge between assessment and programming, this webinar provides practical tools to improve decision-making, enhance client outcomes, and create adaptable programs that hold up when movement does not go as planned.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
•Identify key limitations of traditional exercise progression and regression models
•Apply foundational biomechanics principles to guide exercise selection
•Categorize exercises based on how they load the body rather than how they appear
•Recognize common movement compensations and adjust exercises accordingly
•Modify and scale exercises using position, range of motion, and force demands
•Select appropriate exercises more efficiently and confidently for diverse clients
