SSS is…
For the absolute beginner and beginner+! Covers the basics of 6 movement patterns: Push, Pull, Squat, Hinge, Transverse, and Locomotion. All 3 classes will cover these movement patterns in various ways giving you the tools to create your own movement sessions!
Recommended equipment: You do not NEED any equipment for level 1, but if you want to add to your home gym collection, consider 5, 10, 15, 20 lb kettlebells, various collection of resistance bands, a sturdy chair, yoga mat, yoga blocks, and a yoga strap.
Strike: 30 minutes of American Kickboxing/Boxing style movements. Includes variations for standing, chair, and floor based movements. You will learn a 5-10 combinations of movements during the 8 weeks that you can mix and match. Each class has a warm up, 20 minutes of strike movement combinations broken down into dominant, front facing, and non dominant sides. This will be a super fun way to move your body!
Strength: We will spend the first 4 weeks learning the do’s and don’ts of strength training. How to properly and safely do the 6 movement patterns, and different variations for standing and chair. During weeks 5-8 the option to add dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance band will be included.
Stretch: It is as important to relax your body as it is to activate your body. Activation and Relaxation must coexist for our bodies to get stronger and increase mobility. Variations will be provided for standing, chair, and floor.
