Level 1.
Start Here
Start Here by doing Prone (face down) and Supine (face up) floor work known as The Good Morning Routine. By doing so everyday preferably in the morning, you will have a strong, flexible and balanced body from head to toe. Each floor session is only about 15 to 30 minutes in duration, and it feels great doing this workout. Contact Ken to get started right and be prepared for the next challenge - Level 2.
Level 2. Corrective Exercises
Corrective Exercises are strengthening techniques that target only the weak muscles that are participating in the painful imbalances of your body such as from sitting too much for example. Work with Ken to identify the problem and notice pain free results instantly. Maintaining Level 1 and 2 will give you the confidence to take on Level 3 which is much more intense, but worth it. Your fitness level will skyrocket, and you will notice significant weight loss and muscle retention by working out consistently which Ken is prepared to assist you with every step of the way.
Level 3.
Weight Loss
This is great news if you are operating at Level 3. Weight Training and Cardio Training will significantly increase your caloric expenditure. As a result, you will lean up, and decrease the chances of acquiring diabetes, inflammation, and high blood pressure. Walking is a great place to start and so is consulting with Ken on a consistent basis. Receive personalized nutrition and weight loss instruction as well as New Exercises as you progress in Levels 1 and 2. No matter your motivation for moving better, feeling better or looking better, mastering Level 3 will prepare you for the ultimate place to be and that is Level 4 - Fun Fitness!

SUCCESS STORIES
"Kasey – Male age 15 Soccer Player
I’m a very experienced soccer player for my age. I have played for 10 years now and I plan to continue playing at a college or professional level. I play for a high ranked team in California which requires a lot of traveling and practices. During this time, I have had countless injuries. Some were minor, but others were serious, meaning I would have missed weeks or even months of practice. Ken Haman has helped me come back to playing within days or even weeks, which is a fraction of the time it takes others with similar injuries. Sometimes it hurts when doing direct massage or the tennis ball, but I know a little pain now means I’m back to playing the beautiful game that I hate to watch from the sideline. I now know what to do to overcome any muscle pain, and that means everything to me because I can continue to train on my own to consistently remain a starter against the best players in the state and the nation."
Jake - Male age 18 Soccer Player and Field Goal Kicker
As both a football and soccer player, I have developed many injuries over the past years. There would be nights I would come home from football practice with immense pain in my quad and hip flexor from the repetitive motion of kicking a football and using the same muscle groups. I would always go straight to my dad who has, on numerous occasions, palpated and discovered the point of injury and eventually knocked it down to where I was back to 100%. While deeper injuries took longer to heal, I can't name one instance where my dad wasn't able to locate the source of the pain and work muscles around the trouble spot to bring it back to full health.
Dr. Arnold Mandell – age 84
As a life-long sedentary, mathematical-medical theorist, I paid little attention to my body or its physics condition. Aging brought arthritis, rotator cuff syndrome, lateralized lower back and knee pain. Opioids, muscle relaxants, tranquilizers and sedatives were of little help. Consideration of back shoulder and/or knee surgery was sometimes helpful but also known for making thing worse. By the age of 60 I had become a chronic pain patient. Several visits to physical rehabilitation centers and acupuncturists helped but only transiently.
I then discovered Ken Haman and his systematic program of stretches, tonic postures, and gentle passive and active motion that both mobilized and strengthened my "core." More importantly, he made me mindful of my body and its cooperative dynamical capacity, despite having Kyphosis. In this way, he gave me control of many healing mechanisms.
Ken's work with my "body's mind" has resulted in large and lasting positive changes in my neuromuscular-skeletal health. I recommend Ken and his physiological-psychological program without reservations.
