A Monday morning full-body class for those who want effective strength and conditioning, with plenty of time to work through each exercise properly. The session builds muscle strength, endurance, balance and flexibility.
The hour opens with a thorough warm-up focusing on balance and coordination, followed by running sequences that can be adapted to your level. Four strengthening exercises are then done as a circuit, twice through, using hand weights and resistance bands where relevant. Every exercise can be scaled to your starting point, and the class ends with gentle stretching on the mat. Expect to work up a sweat, with music, the instructor and fellow participants keeping the mood lively.
Note that the class moves between standing exercises and floor work, so you need to be able to get up and down from the floor unaided.
