This class will be a great option for those who have struggled with elbow issues. Common ones are tendinitis - tennis/golfers elbow. If the elbow is a priority area for you, you'll want to program in this class at least 1x a week, and ideally work yourself up to 2x a week. For anyone with more serious past injuries to this area, it would be wise to listen to your body, and monitor intensities at first. Then you can slowly build up from there, increasing the intensity gradually with each class. You don't have to go full intensity right off the back, it's always best to go at your own pace and then build from there.
The elbow is very undertrained, and asked to absorb a lot of force in a lot of the movements and sports we do. So it will be important to improve tissue quality and strength in this area, especially if you’re dealing with any nagging elbow issues.
Hope you love the class!
