What's included
8 live meetings
6 in-class hoursClass Experience
This course meets twice a week to work on increasing strength and endurance. With over 10 years of gymnastics and acrobatic coaching, I've incorporated multiple active stretching and fitness exercises specifically designed to improve student's overall fitness and strength. This class is ideal for students who are interested in gymnastics, acrobatics, dance, cheerleading, or aerial arts. This class can be adapted for beginners or more advanced students. Each week's class is structured the same as they're building towards the same skillset. Each class will begin with a short warm-up to prevent injury and will be followed by a series of strength and cardio exercises. Classes will conclude with a short cool down. Week One: Lesson 1: Strength Training: Upper Body Lesson 2: Cardio & Strength Training: Lower Body Week Two: Lesson 3: Strength Training: Full Body Lesson 4: Cardio & Strength in Flexibility Week Three: Lesson 5: Strength Training: Upper Body Lesson 6: Cardio & Strength Training: Lower Body Week Four: Lesson 7: Strength Training: Full Body Lesson 8: Cardio & Strength in Flexibility Week Five: Lesson 1: Strength Training: Upper Body Lesson 2: Cardio & Strength Training: Lower Body Week Six: Lesson 3: Strength Training: Full Body Lesson 4: Cardio & Strength in Flexibility Week Seven: Lesson 5: Strength Training: Upper Body Lesson 6: Cardio & Strength Training: Lower Body Week Eight: Lesson 7: Strength Training: Full Body Lesson 8: Cardio & Strength in Flexibility

Parental Guidance
Students will be doing physical activities during this class please make sure that students have a water bottle in class to stay hydrated. Students must have a safe, comfortable, non-slippery space. Please make sure to clear the space of anything to prevent students from tripping over items or breaking anything. Please make sure students are not wearing socks if they are on a slippery floor and are in comfortable clothes for the activities. Students do not need to wear sneakers but can if they are more comfortable for the student.
Please be aware of your child's abilities and supervise as necessary to avoid potential injuries. Most activities in this class involve minimal risk but as with any physical activities, there is the potential to overexert themselves if not properly supervised.
