An activity for you to try from home
VID_20200514_101923.mkvExercise Video - First Attempt .mp4IMG_6234.MP4Based on the exemplar videos of previous personal training students, we would like you to create your own exercise session. I recommend that you do your own further research on exercises and how to perform them. For your programme, you will need to include:
Warm up
Gentle to minimise risk of injury, but intense enough to raise the pulse (e.g. a jog around the park)
Main exercises
At least six exercises that can be performed at home, in the park, etc.
Decide the order these exercises will go in
Decide how many reps or how long each set will last for; if there is any rest after each exercise or after each circuit; and how many circuits you will use
Research some teaching points for each exercises
Cool down
At least three stretches to relax the muscles used in the main exercises
Between 10-30 seconds each
