GET STRONG.
Full Body Strength Training & Yoga Program For the 40+ Woman
Each STRENGTH TRAINING class begins with a 10 min DYNAMIC MOBILITY WARM UP to focus on moving the joints in their full range of motion
to warm up the body and prevent injury and establish a connection with the breath.
Then, we move into 10 mins of CORE STRENGTH work targeting the TVA (Tranversus Abdominals), upper and lower rectus abdominals, the obliques and pelvic floor. We also focus on some functional movement patterns, such as getting up and down off the floor without using your hands.
THERE ARE 3 STRENGTH TRAINING CLASSES - Each class focuses on strength training and building muscle in a particular area of the body:
3 STRENGTH TRAINING CLASSES
-
✺ LEGS & GLUTES ✺
Body weight, resistance bands and dumbbells, the glute muscles are targeted as well as quads, hamstrings, adductors and calf muscles
.
-
✺ SHOULDERS/ARMS ✺
Beginning with rotator cuff strength training to fortify strong shoulders. Then concentrated on full deltoid, bicep/tricep, and upper back work.
-
✺BACK/CHEST/ARMS✺
Concentrated strength training for the upper, mid and lower back, rear deltoids, lats, serratus anterior, chest and tricep muscles
.
A 5 min static stretch cool down completes each class. This gives the student the opportunity to lower cortisol levels which naturally elevate during exercise.
THE 4TH CLASS PER WEEK IS GEARED TOWARDS ACTIVE RECOVERY > YOGA & MOBILITY.
✺ YOGA & MOBILITY/ACTIVE RECOVERY ✺
In this class, we focus on recovery and shifting into the parasympathic side of the nervous system.
We practice stretches to keep the body pliable, flexible, agile and release tension.
Yoga poses, physiotherapy-type exercises and dance inform these classes. Deep rest, savasana, completes each class.
BEING STRONG
IS BAD ASS
FOCUS ON CREATING NEUROMUSCULAR CONNECTION
Each participant will locate the muscle to be worked in each exercise and learn to contract that muscle at will before the exercise begins, cultivating a strong neuromuscular pathway and more effective training.
FOCUS ON QUALITY OF EACH REP:
Each participant will learn how to hold good form with a strong CORE connection and, utilize the CONCENTRIC and ECCENTRIC portions of an exercise, learn to PAUSE at the MAXIMUM CONTRACTION to elevate TIME UNDER TENSION to optimize the weight being used.
FOCUS ON STRENGTH
AS A FEELING:
Each participant will be guided to feel, sense and know what is going on inside their bodies during training. Each participant will work at their own pace and use weights that are appropriate to what they can maintain in good form - whether that be starting out with light weights, or even simply body weight in some cases. For the more seasoned practitioner - going heavier.
