I am very impressed with this band course. I have an amazing resource at hand for when I'm teaching resistance band exercises in my classes. My confidence level has increased and I feel ready to get out there and help older adults get fit and strong and flexible. The information about the benefits of using them was so interesting and encouraging as it provides the research back- up to boost participants motivation and reduce soreness and injury. Carol and Trudi epitomise what good (great) teachers are. So congratulations to you and your course. Thank you so much!

Wow, this was a fantastic course. I would never have thought you could do so much with a theraband. The course combined theoretical knowledge, thorough notes and practical demonstration. This meant I got a complete understanding of the ways to incorporate bands into an exercise program. The exercise notes are printable making them a useable reference for future use. The format of the course was a real strength. Trudi clearly explained each resistance band exercise and Carol covered the practical side, demonstrating each exercise showing clear and precise movements. This meant that good technique and control was always a focus. So all in all a great course for instructors looking to widen their knowledge of how to effectively use resistance bands in their exercise programs.

Wow! This course has so many exercises and so much to offer. It gives us fantastic exercise ideas for our older adult classes, some exercises are quite challenging. Through video demonstrations and notes, we can see how to do each exercise and the correct technique. Carol and Trudi present sample class videos so we can see what a standing bodyweight class can look like. I liked the workbook to check back on exercise pics and notes and the templates are good to help in planning a class.
