Floor resistance band exercises
Cost: AU$75 | Duration: 3hrs
We go through 60 floor exercises here that use a resistance band, to offer a full body workout that is safe, fun and effective! We also work through the benefits of using exercise bands, why they're great for older adults, and some of the technique that you need to keep an eye out for.
So by the end of the course we hope that you:
* Understand why bands are a great alternative to weights in older adults classes
* Have lots of standing exercises that you can use in your classes
* And know what to look out for when teaching good technique.
There are video demonstrations of every exercise, handouts for you to take with you, interviews, case studies, and lots more! We also include a workout that shows you how you can put the exercises together for an older adults or seniors fitness class.
So add a new challenge into your workouts, and add floor resistance band exercises for something different!
