This is Not a Fitness Class: Body Weight Strength

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
We haven’t done a class with the large ball in awhile, so this was fun! This class focuses quite a bit on spinal mobility and separating the motion of the pelvis from the ribcage- getting better at moving them independently from each other.
Equipment Needed:
Large Exercise Ball, Red Squishy Ball, Half Dome, Blanket

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

Instructor:
Tim Harris
Description:
We’ll make our own mini obstacle course to mimic some natural type movements, and intersperse that with corrective exercises. You’ll get to crawl, balance, pick stuff up from the floor, etc.
Equipment:
This is a low back, hips, and core focused class, using the red ball for a wide variety of exercises.
Equipment Needed: Red Ball, Strap, Bolster
