Strength and Mobility Class

Hear from Chloe Doige: 

Dance was my first introduction to fitness, so I have always enjoyed having an awareness of the movement of my body.

When it comes to fitness, flexibility and mobility training are hugely important for the health and recovery of the body, yet people tend to lack the knowledge and overlook it. This is something I have continually recognised when working with clients and in gyms. Mobility training is not just for dancers and athletes but for everyone. A lot of people don’t have the confidence to start training or try something new; my classes help build a relationship with the body and mind to create a healthy and happy foundation for all movement.  

About the Class: 

In my class, we will be using three different variations of stretching- static stretches, dynamic stretches and active stretches.  

We will be working with bodyweight exercises and using resistance bands, blocks, exercise balls, weights, etc., to work on actively engaging the stretches to help build strength around each movement. I understand that weights may not be a suitable piece of equipment in your studios because of the wooden floor, this is fine as they aren’t a vital piece of equipment, but a great extra where possible. 

Each class will have a main focus area of mobility, for example, hips focused, but will include exercises that work on the full body. The warm-up and strength circuit will incorporate movements that work on all areas to prepare the body.  

A: FULL BODY WARM-UP (5 MIN)  

B: STRENGTH FOCUSSED CIRCUIT (10 MIN)  

C: DYNAMIC STRETCH CIRCUIT (15 MINUTE) – Stretching with movement 

D: ACTIVE STRETCH CIRCUIT (20 MINUTE) – Stretching with resistance (muscles engaged in the stretch) 

E: PASSIVE STRETCHING (10 MINUTE) – Holding a static position, allowing your body to relax into the stretch
