Description: Are you looking for a fun way to get a Phy-Ed credit? This class is for you, whether you’re an athlete, dancer, or brand new to conditioning. All ability levels are welcome as the workouts are tailored to the skill and ability of each individual. The goal for this class is to learn how to (1) safely and effectively build muscle, (2) learn the basics of muscle conditioning, flexibility, and injury prevention, and (3) give students the tools to do all of the above at home even after classes are over. We will spend some time each week at the beginning of class discussing basic muscle anatomy and injury prevention techniques before moving on to our conditioning period. During the conditioning period, students will complete a series of high intensity workouts tailored to each student’s ability. We will be finishing the class every week with stretching. To maintain and enhance the progress made in class, students will be assigned conditioning exercises as homework every week. Note: This is a 45-minute class. Come in your sweats ready to sweat! You will have 30 minutes after class to freshen up before lunch.
