Come prepared to move and generate body heat. In this class you will foster functional power and strength. It is suited to those who already have a good foundation of mobility and balance and who can move from standing into moderate/modified squats and/or onto the mat. Dynamic Power & Strength is designed to foster muscle power, overall strength and freedom of movement.
The class will included four sections: warm up, modified plyometrics, dynamic strength conditioning and cool down.
Modified plyometrics are low-impact exercises that activate the stretch-shortening cycle in our muscles to increase strength and performance. Modified plyometrics can enhance functional fitness, increase ease of daily activities and help improve balance, coordination, and bone density, for sustaining an independent lifestyle.
The dynamic strength section of this class will focus on muscular endurance through eccentric (elongated) and concentric (contracted) muscle conditioning.
Participants can look forward to a paced, yet challenging class that will leave them feeling strong and invigorated.
