Progressive Layers Inspiration

These are examples and designed to spark your own creativity. I have only done one or two repetitions of each layer. When teaching you should do as many repetitions as appropriate for your group and stop at the level when everyone has been sufficiently challenged. Encourage people to stay at a level that suits them on that day.

Special Considerations

Prenatal considerations

Osteoporosis considerations

Not appropriate for osteoporotic clients due to the loaded spine flexion and rotation.

Modify by keeping hands on the floor to support and hinging forwards at the hips. Omit pulses.
