Early & Fit: Wake Up and Smell the Coffee

Well, coffee isn't served, but a dynamic warm-up followed by cardio/metabolic work and strength training are on the menu! Building on a foundation (literally) of alignment and posture, we strengthen and stabilize our core, hips and shoulders (which includes balance, flexibility and awareness). Rather than thinking about training body parts, we train movements that involve linking up several body parts. This is how we move in our everyday lives, hence the workout becomes "functional".

All experience levels are welcome, as most exercises can be modified to your ability. Along the way other benefits may arise like weight loss, healthier eating habits, friendships and a more positive relationship with your body!
