equipment

I decided to deviate every so slightly from my usual 'minimalist' approach and pulled out some 'toys' for the station work we did yesterday evening. Specifically, I brought a Powerbase and an agility ladder. The other two stations used cones for jumping (on grass) and skipping/shuffing (on the track) drills. We 'rested' between the sets of stations with several ab exercises. But there was actual rest, too, within the station rotations. I actually did not specify that recovery, waiting instead until everyone was ready to go. This was not a cardio intensive session. Instead, form, posture, coordination, and precision of execution was the focus. On the Powerbase, we worked exclusively on the shoulders with front and lateral arm raises on minimal resistance. On the ladders, we went through a set of hopscotch hops and lateral quick feet shuffle.

It was mentioned in passing that someone enjoyed 'cardio-boxing' or similar type training. Thus, I intend to teach some capoeira on Thursday. Don't miss it!
