What is next on the busy agenda for Maksim? The highly innovative program, entitled First Step. It is a Motion Development System designed to create a healthy, mind-body connection. This is accomplished through the most efficient mechanics of the human step!The sequence of events in the neuromuscular junction is often compromised by our daily activities or lack of them, as well as our inability to develop efficient motions. This pattern creates unbalance in our body which leads to chronic issues such as bone loss, nerve pain, focus disorders, compromised metabolism, balance difficulties, etc.
He believes that by increasing the focus on the coordination and purposely driven actions with our muscular system, we can help prevent a wide range of these problems as well as bring your favorite activities to the next level!
Motion Development Programs are designed to establish coordination so exercising is comfortable and efficient. Motion Development Programs make sense to your body and builds a foundation to increase strength, bone density, balance, and range of motion, speed and assist with weight control.
The future is bright for Maksimov- the new program along with his vast Ballet, Theater and Film experience will surely translate into a new big production!
