To help you understand the science behind Neuromuscular Workout, and why the exercises within the program have been chosen, we have compiled a list of information sources.
Background
The sources and information that are found here, have been thoroughly reviewed by Malou Deichmann , Neuromuscular Workouts’ Founder and Trainer, who – along with her many years of experience within the fitness, mobility and physical training industry – has a Bachelor in Nutrition and Health from Suhr’s Seminarium in Copenhagen , that allows her to communicate and guide within the areas of health, nutrition and physical activity.
In addition to her bachelor’s degree, Malou has also received the following certifications, that qualify her to train, teach and develop programs for movement within the areas of physical fitness, mobility and strength:
