CHOREO+ SUMMER 2015 GROUP EX, MIND BODY AND TRAINING INSPIRATION This quarter we focus on strength across a range of classes. Check out all these videos at fitnessnetwork.com.au/choreo DANCE FITNESS: Leg strength with Amy Townsend This video focuses on building up the strength dancers need to improve their jumps and kicks. It is perfect to use in any class as a way to break up the cardio and switch the focus to conditioning – thereby providing the additional benefits of interval training. We work through three bodyweight exercises – side lunges, sumo squats and sissy squats – all while letting the music inspire our movements! Standing strong with Stephen Parker A standing climb with a moderate to high load (gear) improves muscular endurance for the lower body. When the duration of the climb is more than five minutes, you also improve cardiovascular endurance. I recommend selecting a cadence around 140BPM and using strong motivational language to keep your students pushing hard and committed to the workout. This video provides a great example of a standing climb. Core strength with Searle Choudree Tired of conducting the same old core routines with clients and participants? Watch the video to discover exercises that place force on the core while you perform unilateral movement patterns. The aim is to keep braced through your trunk while using your limbs as resistance and to create instability, thereby forcing your core to work harder in order to stabilise. 10% off cool new tracks for a steaming HOT Summer!
