Before you memorize muscles, origins, insertions and actions… you need to understand anatomical orientation.

In this episode, we break down the fundamentals of anatomical position, directional terms and planes of motion so students in kinesiology, nursing, exercise science and personal training can better understand how the human body moves in space.

If you’re currently studying for exams in:
• Kinesiology
• Nursing school
• NASM
• ACE
• ISSA
• NSCA
• ACSM or the SUF-CPT

This is the foundation that makes everything else in anatomy make sense.

We cover:
• Anatomical position
• Anterior vs posterior
• Medial vs lateral
• Superior vs inferior
• Proximal vs distal
• Contralateral vs ipsilateral
• Sagittal plane
• Frontal plane
• Transverse plane

Whether you're learning movement for clinical practice, rehab, strength training or preparing for your CPT exam, mastering anatomical orientation is essential for understanding assessments, biomechanics and exercise programming.

At Show Up Fitness, we teach future personal trainers how to apply anatomy in real world scenarios with actual clients through movement assessments and hands on learning.
