Movement Methods
Movement does not have to be an extremely strenuous HIIT-style workout. The best and most effective type of movement is simple exercise you can control and enjoy! There are various types of movement methods that all target different parts of the body and can be modified for specific injuries or limitations. Also, it’s extremely important to understand the modifications and progressions you make for your body within exercise. This will allow you to achieve real, lasting results and feel strength from within. Most importantly, all movement can be done in the company of others!

Personalized Wellness Plans
The most important step within your fitness plan is to make sure it's suitable to your body and its needs, which is exactly why knowing your modifications and progressions within a workout class is essential. If an exercise feels uncomfortable or painful, it is just not the right one for you! This is why it's always my priority to make my clients aware of their options within a class. Form should always take priority to ensure the exercise is being effective on a specific muscle group and not painful.
