Some of the Class Descriptions that I offer my CI Travel Employees to reach their wellness goals are:

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

STABILITY:  Movements to improve balance stabilization and core strength.

BODY DESIGN:  a total body strengthening class done on the floor.   Learn how to use your body effectively.  Please bring an extra towel or padding if you have knee or neck considerations.

BALLS GALORE!:  learn how to use a small ball to safely improve muscular strength and endurance through progressive resistance and movements.  Balls provided.

WALKING GUIDELINES WITH RESET STRETCHES: Walking is the most natural form of exercise and is the number one activity in the U.S.  Done correctly and on a regular basis, walking can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis, reduce body fat, tone muscle, and increase overall stamina.  Its low impact, wonderfully convenient, as well as a fun social activity.  Learn proper body alignment, foot placement, stride, and stretches to be done before and after for maximum results.

  UNDERSTAND AND ALLEVIATE PLANTAR FASCIITIS.  Guidelines for CARE: Plantar fasciitis is a major pain in the foot!  It can affect your ability to exercise and to even get around throughout the day.  Due to the interconnectedness of the body, it can also lead to other musculoskeletal problems such as ankle, knee, back, shoulder and neck pain.  In this practical and informative session, you will learn about what you can do to help yourself overcome this potentially debilitating problem.

 

 How to turn you WALK into a CROSS TRAINING experience to maximize calorie expenditure and increase muscle tone: A fun and creative way to increase your cardiovascular output during your “walk” time by incorporating toning movements all at once.  A dynamic full body workout interspersed with balance, strength and coordination movements.  Modifications given throughout, allowing for all fitness levels to participate.  If it is raining or just too hot, we will do this class inside!

 

 A DIFFERENT LOOK AT CORE TRAINING: THE BACKSIDE:

 Core training has become an integral part of everyone’s strength training program.  In this session, learn how to strengthen the backside of the core, focusing on the low back, the gluteus (rear end) and stabilization exercises for proper three dimensional core care.

 BARRE:

 Specific standing isometric movements that are core-focused and will effectively work your rear, thighs, and tone your abs by using a chair as the ballet barre as the main prop to reinforce ideal positioning of the exercises, while performing small, concentrated movements.  Each strength section is followed by a stretch reset the muscle worked.

 THE ROLL MODEL:

Step-by-step instructional sessions utilizing a tennis ball to erase pain, improve mobility, and live better in your body.  If you have a tennis ball, please bring it.  Tennis balls will be provided, but you will want to have one at your desk from now on, so that you can feel better throughout your day!

  DYNABANDS:

  The Workout That Works!  Can reduce your chance of injury.  Can help prevent osteoporosis.  Lightweight, portable, easy to learn, and very effective!  A versatile, easy to use band used to safely improve muscular strength and endurance through progressive resistance.  Bands provided.

  FUNCTIONAL FLEXIBILITY (STRETCH):

 The body’s ability to react against motion is determined by how well it responds.  If it is tight, movement can be restricted, eventually leading to injuries.  Learn how to stretch to improve your entire wellbeing for sport and life.  Please bring a yoga mat, or a beach towel, or something to be comfortable on while doing your work on the floor.  Enhance flexibility, improve range of motion and lengthen shortened muscles.  Please bring a strap or any form of “arm extender”!

ABDOMINAL CONDITIONING 101: LEARN PROPER PELVIC TILT STABILIZATION.  Proper abdominal engagement will be reviewed and taught.

WALKING BANDS 45:  Incorporating cardiovascular conditioning with strength training.  Reap the benefits of the best of both modalities.

NECK AND SHOULDER STRETCHES:  Get that pain out of your neck!  Wipe away your day by learning how to get the stress and tightness out of your neck and shoulders!

LOW BACK STRENGTHENING:  Back health is everything.  In this class, learn ongoing ways to strengthen your back for postural awareness and pain relief.

UNDERSTANDING LABELS:  Ever wonder what the label on a food item means?  Get the basics to get you on the right path to success.

 MUFFIN TOP INCINERATOR:  Our pesky midsection!  The muffin top, the spare tire, the stuff that hangs out over the top of our pants:  learn what exercise zone in on the muffin top and incinerate!

STRAP STRETCHES:  Having a difficult time getting into some of the stretches.  In this class, bring your stretching strap, your arm extender;  it can be a bathrobe tie, a canvas belt, a rope with a dish towel (for comfort) anything long that you can extend the length of your arms to get into some of the more intricate stretches.  A class beneficial to all levels.
