Core Strength and Conditioning
This class is for those who want to build strength, especially in their core, glutes, and shoulders. After age 35, we start losing muscle mass which can lead to a host of problems, but the good news is, if you are intentional with your exercise routine, you can build new muscle at any age!
In this class, we will use progressive overload (repeating movements with multiple sets) to fatigue our muscles and thus build strength. All exercises are designed to be safe and effective. All abilities are welcome, no previous experience is required. Variations and modifications will always be given to work within your limits while still challenging yourself.
Building a strong body helps to prevent injury, lose fat, and create a lifestyle where movement is accessible as we age.
Tuesday Morning Class is Body Weight Only
Thursday Evening Class will use Dumbbell Weights
**You are required to bring a yoga mat and water.**
**If you are signed up for a Thursday program you may bring your own weights or use Prescott's.**
Here is what they are saying about Emma's Core Strength & Conditioning Class:
"Emma is very motivating, always positive!"
"Focuses on core, but also works to strengthen the entire body, because it's all connected. I like that the class is designed to become progressively more challenging week by week and, because the majority of the class has been taking the class for several sessions, session by session. Emma always shows modifications for people of all levels. She is a very good teacher."
"The exercises (challenging!); the instructor’s enthusiasm & encouragement!"
"The class was challenging and fun! I feel stronger since starting. Emma is a wonderful teacher."
"The class offered challenging exercises, but instructor provides different levels of difficulty as needed. Good communication and
demonstration by instructor. Enjoyed using the weights and twisting!"
"Emma’s upbeat and encouraging spirit!"
