Episode 008 Revision – Dividing the Body Into Planes of Motion
Here’s what we talked about on today’s FitPro Sessions Podcast
Today’s podcast episode is our second revision Fit Pro session where Neale and I explore the three planes of motion; sagittal, frontal and transverse planes.
We explain why so many trainees Fit Pros find it difficult to learn and remember the planes of motion as well as discuss why you need to know about planes of motion for more than just your anatomy exam, but also for planning and training clients.

The Revision Power Hour Cheat Sheet:
The 3 Planes of motion
1: The sagittal plane
The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right.
Movements that occur in the sagittal plane are flexion, extension, and hyper-extension.
This includes exercises such as biceps curl, leg press of abdominal crunches.
2: The frontal plane
The frontal plane divides our body into front and back. The anatomical term for the front portion is anterior and the back portion is posterior.
Movements that occur in the frontal plane are adduction and abduction.
This includes exercises such as ‘jumping jacks’ or dumbbell lateral raises.
3: The transverse plane
The transverse plane runs through the body at waist level parallel to the ground and separates the body into top and bottom.
Rotational movement occurs within this plane. This includes exercises such as trunk rotations or head rotations.
Horizontal flexion/ extension also occurs in the transverse plane, for example when performing lying dumbbell flys.
