FOCUS :   

Today’s class you’ll start with 8 minutes of stretching, 10 minutes of pure abs, 30 minutes of upper body and lower body alternating weighted and resistance based exercises, and finish with a few minutes of recovery stretching. Today is simplified in the sense that you are doing one move at a time so you can really focus on your form and muscular engagement throughout the entire exercise. Use this class to hone your skill and performance, as well as your form. Remember that building lean muscle mass will help in burning fat and creating and maintaining a healthier body mass index.

Science shows that weight training is not only beneficial but necessary to anyone at or over age 40. We suggest to develop this strength and habit before age 40. In addition to the mobility and postural strength and flexibility gained with resistance training, weight training will significantly play a role in maintaining lean muscle mass and dense, strong bones. This will also help burn fat even at a resting pace and is an excellent form of exercise in tandem with our Pilates Reformer work.

Remember to come back and repeat regularly to track your progress! 👊
