Programming on the V2 Max Plus™ Reformer Workout #2
2:00PM-4:00PM $75.00 .2cecs
Expand your exercise options and programming possibilities with the V2 Max Plus™Reformer workshop. Exploring the unique features of this unparalleled piece of equipment, discover how the Reformer, Vertical Frame and second set of pulleys, which are vertically adjustable, can be maximized to develop motivating and captivating workout sessions. Observe how familiar exercises can be updated by accessing some of the Reformer's special properties and learn how these can be incorporated into any routine, from beginner to advanced.


Jumpboard Strength & Conditioning (NEW)
4:30PM-6:30PM $75.00 .2cecs
This workout highlights the Jumpboard's versatile ability to place a major emphasis on programming to improve the strength of hip, knee and ankle joints in both supine and standing positions. Increased spring resistance is used to emphasize strengthening of the arms and shoulder girdle in upper body work and the legs in lower body work. The Jumpboard is used as a stable base or platform to focus on proper biomechanics of the entire lower kinetic chain, allowing the hip joint to be in a more anatomically neutral alignment when transferring forces from the soles of the feet up through the body.
