Classes at Timberview Church

What to Expect

Exercises that promote

  • Good posture

  • Functional strength

  • Balance

Getting Started-June 2, 9, and 16

The first three classes are the most important, will review body basics, and be very low intensity. We will spend time understanding important foundational concepts like how to position feet; how to create a strong base for your center of gravity (pelvis); how to breathe big and hold your spine in a neutral position; how to activate certain muscles while relaxing others; and creating awareness of hip, pelvis, and shoulder positioning.

Ramping Up

Once participants understand the basics and can safely begin the corrective exercises, we will transition into exercises that require more activation and mobility. Participants will be encouraged to listen to their bodies and choose a variation of the exercises that meets their bodies where they are at on any given day. For some participants that may mean seated variations or holding onto a wall, while others may choose to loas movements with weights or resistance bands. We will target commonly underactive muscles, like the core and muscles along the backline of the body (hamstrings, glutes, back).
