3 The Polar Team Solution is designed to get the best out of your clients by displaying the accurate, real-time heart rates of up to 40 participants on screen. 4 component, and one which can be applied to most exercises. Heart rates are colour coded as per Polar’s 5 sport Zones. Lunges forwards or to the side, for example, can include a rotating upper body action (photos 3 & 4). Even the plank can include rotation when each hip is lowered to the floor in turn. Always ensure that you provide your clients or participants with options when it comes to rotation, and consider limitations due to injury. The session you deliver, of course, is not a rehabilitation program, so the responsibility lies with the participant and their ability to choose their own exercise intensity. Analyse the effort of each member and motivate them to be their best. Functional muscle conditioning can be incorporated into any group fitness workout and be effective in developing the overall fatigue necessary to ‘satisfy customer demand’! It can also freshen up your existing exercise repertoire by bringing new functionality to classic exercises. Follow the progress of your group over time and share results.
