Standing Cardio + Balance Series - Week 22
2nd Trimester • 18m
Great high energy class to practice balance and strength while standing. As our bodies are growing, everything is moving anteriorly (to the front) which in turn causes our center of gravity to shift. We need to pay attention and focus on these changes as our body changes. We will also get our heartrate up by moving through standing footwork (aka squats), heel lifts, single leg work, 2x4 and finishing with a postural analysis.
