Strength & Balance 1

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
This class will use the “Waitress/Waiter” exercise to evaluate the external rotation of your shoulders. Lots of chest opening, shoulder mobility, and scapular stabilization.
Equipment Needed:
Block, Bolster, Half Dome, Blanket, Yellow Tube with handles and an attachment point.
Note: We lost the last couple minutes of the video, so here’s basically what we did: finish the unwinding, add in wide scapulae, then re-check your external rotation in the Waitress. Voilá! Amazing right?

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
For a mobile spine, we need abdominal muscles that work all the way from the bottom to the top and from the deeper layers to the more superficial layers. We tend to move the spine in big chunks. In this class we’ll tease apart some of these pieces for greater mobility and ease of movement.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Block, Red Squishy Ball

Instructor:
Michael Kaffel
Description:
The “Sit & Rise Test” is a decent predictor of all-cause mortality from cardiovascular disease. At the beginning of class, you’ll do a before test and then re-test at the end, after Michael takes you through a series of exercises to improve all mobilities required to get up from and down to the floor.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Block
