What is the POSE Method?
The POSE Method is a system for teaching human movement developed by 2-time Olympic
Coach Dr. Nicholas Romanov. The name of the method comes from the word “pose,” or “body
position.” During movement, the body passes through an infinite number of positions. Most of
the positions (or poses) are transitional movements and are the result, not the cause, of proper
positioning. The ability of certain poses to integrate the whole chain of preceding and subsequent
movements into one whole, wasting no energy on inconsequential movement laid the foundation
of the POSE Method.

What can it do for you?
The POSE Method can be applied to any human movement. In sports, application of the POSE
Method can dramatically improve training and racing performance, help prevent injuries and
give a competitive edge. The first POSE Technique was made available to the general public,
published for the first time in Russia in 1981, in 1997 and was the first official and complete
running technique on the market. With a number of running styles available today, the Pose
Method of Running is currently the only method for teaching running technique and the only
running technique in the world scientifically proven to reduce impact on the knees by 50 percent.

Who is this guy?
Carl Borg is a level 1 CrossFit trainer and a level 1 coach in the POSE Method and with USA
Triathlon. He also holds certifications with the International Sports Science Association (ISSA)
and CFT. Currently, Carl is a trainer in both CrossFit and endurance sports at CrossFit Newport
Beach/Genetic Potential and travels the county with Brian Mackenzie (gym owner) presenting
and assisting at the CrossFit Run and Endurance Certifications. Carl has been active in adventure
and endurance sports for 21 years. In 1994, he began racing cross-country mountain bikes, and
has been racing in the expert class XC since 1996. If this wasn’t enough, Carl is also ranked as a
Cat 4 in road racing. His other competitive experience ranges from sprint and Olympic distance
triathlons to recently completing two 50-mile trail runs within a four-month period. The summer
of 2008 will mark his first attempt at the Angeles Crest 100-Mile Ultra Marathon.
