Sorry i haven’t blogged for a while – i’ve had to deal with a few issues here. Anyway, i’ve convinced my coach to let me warm up and prime my body in a more correct and up to date fashion. We have both been pleased with the results and he will be integrating this stuff with his private clients and in classes from now on. Heres how it looks;
Intuflow – emphasis on lower spine, pelvis, hips, knees and ankles.
Dynamic leg raises – to the front rear and each side
4 corner balance drills (adv)
then we start skipping – switching footwork and rhythms every 30 seconds for 20 minutes.
Shadow boxing – working 3 specific combos using different footwork.
pads – working the same things on the pads as in the shadow boxing.
spar drills – now working those same 3 combos in different scenarios oscillating between symmetrical/asymetrical drills and soft/hard work.
Compensation exercises – specific movements taken from prasara yoga working the functional opposites of the over stressed movements and body parts.
Relaxed stretching – moving into an extended position and remaining there until my body ‘relaxes’ into a greater stretch.
My trainer appreciated the new way of structuring the workouts as it included many of the same things and had more sophisticated versions of other movements. Whats important is not only ‘what’ exercises but also the ‘when’.
