The course has been divided into two parts. Part A is the foundation therefore all the fundamental knowledge required when working with this special population. It also includes cardio exercises such as warm ups, fun routines and games. Part B continues on from part A and the emphasis in this session is Strength training, Balance and Flexibility. We offer you a foundation training in Resistance based exercises using bars and dumbbells, as well as the use of the Fitball.
