What is the difference between KLT and other gym programs?
Traditional gym training commonly contains isolation movements and focuses on individual movements. Often the exercises require external supports such as seats and benches. Rarely, the action is able to mimic everyday activity or sporting exertion.
Kinetic Link Training is a precise and comprehensive functional strength and conditioning training program. KLT involves compound whole body exercises with a focus on movement, relying on the body’s internal stability.
- No seats or benches are required ever.
- The movements involve controlled trunk rotation with limbs crossing the midline, enhancing core stability.
- KLT also enriches balance and proprioception.
Why do KLT?
The utilisation of an effective functional strength training system, such as that of Kinetic Link Training (KLT) will assist you to achieve both specific and wholistic peak physical fitness and well-being goals.
As part of this training regime you will complete a new, challenging and intelligent approach to full body, biomechanically balanced resistance training. When you begin to implement the KLT program as part of your training regime, you can be confident that the exercises are promoting muscle development, helping to maintain your body and ensuring optimal musculo-skeletal health.
Background History
The KLT system was developed by Specialist Sport Physiotherapist Wayne Rodgers. Since 2001 KLT has been taught to thousands of physiotherapists and patients around the world. All that is needed to successfully learn and practice KLT is dumbbells and resistance bands – meaning that you can practice KLT at home, with no gym membership required.
How do I get involved ?
At Melbourne Orthopaedic Group we have a range of free-weights and pulleys (cable equipment) allowing for easy, appropriate and customised individual programs that use progression loading.
