We will start with a warm up together, then break out into the workout, which usually consists of 4-5 strength or mobility based exercises. If there is a new exercise or movement we have not done before we will learn it together first. After we finish that we do a cool down and stretch together to allow our heart rate to come down and our nervous system to return to a rested place before we head home.
