Class Experience

The core section of the body is your entire support system. Your core muscles play a huge role in your everyday activities, from getting out of bed, to walking down the street, and most importantly, they literally help you stay upright. The core is more than just the ab muscles, it entails your lower back, spine, etc. This is because your core muscles are the base of support for your entire body. We need to build enough core strength before we can build strength anywhere else.
Exercises will change each week, although here is a look at what the structure of an Core/Ab Ripper class can look like:

8 exercises, 10-15 repetitions, 2 rounds

1- Pilates leg pulls (8 on each side)

Easy: From knees

Hard: Out in plank on toes

2- Straight arm straight leg hold

Easy- Hands resting on ground

Hard- Legs and arms straight out

3- Push-up plank (8 on each side)

Easy- From knees

Hard- From toes

4- High/Low Plank

Easy- Stay in High plank or Low Plank

Hard- Alternate from High to Low Plank

5- Scissored crunches (8 on each side)

Easy- Legs extended on ground

Hard- Knees held at 90-degree angle

6- Pilates tabletops (8 with each leg leading)

Easy- Alternating legs; touch feet down

Hard- Simultaneous legs; keep feet up

7- Straight leg scissor kicks

Easy- Hands underneath butt; long range of motion

Hard- Hands at sides; short, quick range of motion

8- Sit down knee taps

Easy- Hands on the ground

Hard- Hands up tapping knees

Developing a strong torso means building both core stability (those deep internal muscles close to the spine) and core strength. This class will help students in any athletic field prevent injuries. When we have a strong core, it will have a positive effect on the rest of our bodies, meaning your overall fitness will improve, making you less prone to injury down the road.
 All level of students are welcome to this class.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Tiffin university
I am a professional basketball player and a certified sports coach. I have been a basketball coach and fitness trainer for ages 7-18 for boys and girls from all around the world in such countries as England, Portugal, Spain, Malaysia, France, China etc throughout the past 10+ years. I have experience working with different populations including general individuals, endurance athletes, strength athletes, basketball athletes, and physique athletes.Through my experiences I learned that our core is the most important part of our body. Once we strengthen our core section everything else will fall into place.

With my experience as a former Division 1 NCAA Basketball Athlete (in the U.S.) and my current 
Professional Basketball career (played/lived in France Portugal,England,Canada, and China) I have a ton of knowledge and experience in building a strong core. Through my education and career, I have developed an understanding of how to teach lifestyle and behaviour change through evidence-based methods that promote the adoption of exercise and core work. These exercises are inspired by my experiences with NCAA Division 1 programs and European professional sports. 

My philosophy has always been focused on the fundamentals. A win for me is seeing the student’s progression from where they began. Each student is unique in their own way and it is my job to identify their special gift and help bring it out of them. 

A quote I live by is "You have to do something you've never done, to get somewhere you never gone"
This class will give you tools and knowledge to help bring your fitness and endurance to the next level.
