Focus :   

Today we work the whole system as one using total body integration in functional and key movements and exercises that will keep you strong, mobile, balanced and with great posture in all ages. Much of today’s workout is standing and we incorporate the use of sliders. These exercises are a baseline and you are most likely very familiar with them. Stay strong in these moves as they greatly influence longevity and vitality. You’ll work shoulders, arms, hips, legs, core and postural muscles.

This is our seventh Anti-aging class. We hope this program is educational as much as it proves functional for your own self practice. We are responding to the following question:
