CHOREO+ WINTER 2015 GROUP EX, MIND BODY AND TRAINING INSPIRATION This quarter we look at some Winter warm ups across a range of class types. DANCE FITNESS: Let’s Get Ready to Dance! with Amy Townsend Ideal for any dance or movement class, this warm up gets the blood pumping through a series of movements and dynamic stretches. Remember: the warm up is not just a chance to physically prepare your class, but to mentally prepare them as well. Be exciting, be enthusiastic and give your participants the best opportunity to get the most from their workout! Bike Set-Up with James Lamb Taking the time to help your participants achieve the correct bike set-up will prevent overuse injuries. Being seated in the most efficient position on the bike will also improve performance and maximise the benefits achieved in each class. As an added bonus, it will also reduce the amount of time you need to spend coaching and correcting form during class. Mobility Warm Ups with Greg Sellar The purpose of your warm up phase isn’t necessarily to increase core body temperature. The most important thing is to make your warm up or exercise prep relevant to what you’re about to do. This mobility warm up shows sequencing for the major joint series – the shoulders, hips, spine, knees and ankles – as well as some posterior chain work for complete activity readiness.
