Note from the teacher: The following series of exercises offer a functional based training approach to movement. Functional-based training strengthens our bodies for what they do daily. Our daily tasks ARE exercises but most people don't think of their day to day movements in those terms. We squat, lunge, bend, twist, flex and extend our bodies all day long. Practicing movements that we use in every day life allows us to move more efficiently and keeps our bodies mobile and strong.
Carla Shifflett's videos are to be practiced individually or as a group 2-3 times per week. Individually, these videos are both instructional strength training and educational. Collectively, they build upon one another, creating a well rounded exercise program for anyone.
