The aim of LIFT is to take a barbell/dumbell class to the next level.We will do this by using current programming techniques to achieve mobility, stability and overall fitness. In this class we are going to look at some common imbalances that people are dealing with and what sort of movements the average gym goer needs.
LIFT Clients
It is very important that I as an instructor and personal trainer understand where my clients and class participants are coming from. In this downtown demographic most people sit for long periods of time and, due to this inactivity have caused certain muscles in the body to shorten. These areas that are chronically tight cause all sorts of discomfort.
Muscle groups that are commonly tight are Pecs, Abs, Hip Flexors, Hamstrings and calves.
Muscles that are commonly stretched and elongated are the spinal erectae, muslcles between the shoulder blades, and glutes.
