Location: Riverdale Park Studio
DRIP’T Clinic Immersive w/Kendra!
- Are you just getting back to working out and not sure about how to effectively utilize resistance training to help you reach your goals?
- Are you wanting to know what DRIP’T is and afraid to try it?
- Do you have questions about form and proper use of bands and weights?
Then this clinic is for you? We will go through body specific exercises (legs, back, arms, core) and show you how to build on these as you get strong and more comfortable. If you are just wanting to switch up your routine, we can help you do so safely!
Strength/resistance training is important to build strong muscles and bodies that can sustain shock. Weight training can also assist in healthy aging, weight control/loss and can help you strengthen your yoga practice!
