Class Experience

Students will learn bodyweight exercises and how to properly warm-up and cool down. They will have a warm-up, do one set of exercises, get one break, do a second set, and they are told do cool down after the class ends. This is perfect for any student who needs a little encouragement to get up and move or is a little restless and needs to work some of it out. I will demonstrate each exercise while students rest. Then while they exercise I will help them by critiquing form so that they are exercising safely and providing alternate exercises if the one in question is too rigorous. . Throughout the class, they will learn different bodyweight exercises and then they will review 2 lessons later. During lesson 1 the students will learn Pushups, Windshield Wipers, Crunches, L Ups, Mountain Climbers, V-Ups, Russian Twist, and Calf Raises then lesson 3 they will review these exercises so that they have a better chance of remembering them. In lessons 2 and 4, the students will learn Side Ups (R/L), Burpees,  Crunch w/twist, Rotational Pushups, Double Leg Hip Ups, Jumping Jacks, and Sprinters. In lessons 5 and 7 the students will learn Star Pushups, Flutter kicks, Eagles, Heel Touches, Squats, Ball Ups, Calf Raises (Outward), and Legs Up & Reach. In lesson 6 and 8 Students will learn Front Plank w/Leg Lifts, pushup w/Knee Drive, Russian Twist, Back Plank, Calf Raises (Inward), alternate arm leg, Jump holds, and supermans. My teaching style is based on high energy and enthusiasm. I want to show the students, how fun exercising can be so that they will want to participate. This will be highly interactive and there is no required experience or knowledge.
