Practical Strength - Progressions Group Training

 
Now that you've completed three months of Foundations, you can join our more intermediate Progressions classes. We workout every Monday and Wednesday from 8-9am. We always begin by warming up on the foam roller by practice movements that wake up the spine and pelvic floor. We always finish by challenging our balance and stretching. In between the two, we:
 
advance your functional four strengthening exercises using circuits and tabata - squat, lunge, plank, and press
practice daily movements that promote safety and injury-prevention as we ago
slowly begin to incorporate plyo-jumping once single-leg calf raises, single-leg squats, single-leg bridges, and plank are mastered
perform various movement challenges while always finding neutral spine; progress to where our abdominal brace automatically turns without our deliberate doing (necessary for returning to conventional workout classes) 
continue strengthening the back body (especially the glutes and upper trapezius muscle groups) in order to prevent neck and shoulder pain, knee pain, and postrual compression and pain
increase flexibility and strength of the spine in order to enhance bone density safety
evolve balance challenges to prevent injury and build more confidence in our movements
learn from one another and build community around positive aging and wellness
 
Please note: There will be no live class Monday, July 10. A recorded workout will be sent out that morning.
