Free Weights Lesson to the Class

In class, Jessica Glidewell and I had the opportunity to teach the rest of the class a workout routine. For our segment, we decided to go with free weights. Free weights are different from many of the core workout we do, because they are very much dependent on form and a slow pace. We began the workout with a playlist that I had put together. The songs were fun and helped get the class motivated, but they were slow enough that they worked with the pace of the exercises. Next we began our routine.


Side lunges (5 sets of 10)

Bicep reverse curls (2 sets of 20)

Crunches with one weight in hand and one weight in feet (50)

Standing overhead press (2 sets of 20)

Plie squats (5 sets of 10)

Ball bridge (2 sets of 30 seconds)

Toe raises (2 sets of 25)

Upright row (3 sets of 10)

The workout seemed like a success and through the repetitions - we were able to push the class into getting a good workout in.
