5 classes per week

5 classes per week

This is a 3 month program that features class options from 15-30min. This is a great program for those who have time constraints and need shorter classes!

We will do 5 classes a week for 3 months. We will target Hips, Shoulders, Scapula, and Spine. These are bigger joints that give you a lot of bang for your buck so it’s a great place for beginners to start. Make sure to checkout the bottom of this description though, I show you how to add in other joint focuses if desired!

________

So depending on how many classes you want to take, and what other joint focuses you want to incorporate, you can turn this program from a 5x a week program to a 6-7x a week program. For example, Day 6 for your knees, Day 7 for your Wrists.

Just a reminder - when training in areas of weakness, limitation, or past injury - it’s really important to keep your intensity levels low at first. The quality of tissue in these areas might not be very strong, so the amount of stress/force/load these tissues can absorb will be low at first. So keep those intensity levels low in the beginning, especially during PAILs/RAILs, and then gradually build up over time. The goal is to adhere to progressive overload and slowly build up. Always listen to your body and go at your own pace, and never work in any painful ranges of motion. Discomfort can be normal, but we never want that feeling to move towards a sharp pain, pinch, or twinge. It’s totally okay to work in smaller ranges of motion at first as well, and then gradually build up the range over time. Slowly building up in areas of weakness/limitation is definitely key!

I hope you enjoy this program!
