Kinetic Link Training (KLT)
A time-efficient and systemic approach to strengthening full-body functional movement.
The Kinetic Link Training (KLT) system promotes strength development and ease of movement in multiple planes of motion.
When using the KLT system, you will exercise in a way that achieves stability and progressive strengthening of human movement patterns in different directions. The exercises in the KLT system integrate upper and lower body movements that require a strong, controlled core.
The Focus and Benefits of KLT Workouts
- Moving with ease
- Moving with strength
- Moving with efficiency
- Moving with control
KLT exercises focus on using pain-free motion through an appropriately assessed range of motion (moving with ease). The integrated exercise approach requires multiple muscles to generate force through full-body movements (moving with strength) with excellent quality (moving with efficiency) and to demonstrate strong, stable, and fluid motions with safe, correct technique (moving with control).
KLT Functional Training Principles
- Stand up to train
- Perform integrated movements
- Demonstrate appropriate levels of stability and posture control
When we stand up to train, we take out the external stability component, a bench, and rely solely on our lower body and core strength, stability, and endurance to keep us stable for every exercise. With the focus being on performing integrated movements, we work on transferring forces across multiple muscles and joints which allows us to perform functional and sporting tasks such as picking up a heavy box from the floor using our legs, or kicking a soccer ball with one leg while standing balanced on the other. In KLT we only train the prime movers as much as the small stabilizers can maintain control of our core, spine, and peripheral joint positions. KLT exercises should be performed with good posture and fluid movement, celebrating the quality of exercise technique over poorly lifted heavy weights.
