  • Innerfight Gymnastics Class Programming
    By André Houdet INNERFIGHT GYMNASTICS CLASS PROGRAMMING Thank you for downloading the gymnastics program that I have been using for our weekly gymnastics class here at Innerfight over the past 5 months. I’ve found that having a well-structured program has helped my clients improve a lot both because of the context of the program itself, but maybe even more so because I was able to explain them the intention behind the program. I shared the intention of each session and made sure that everyone understood “how” and “why” the block were set up like they were. I’m by no means a former gymnasts or gymnastics specialty coach, but I’m passionate about perfecting and understanding movement which I think is key in order to become a great coach. I’ve tried to gather knowledge from different sources (Podcast with Christopher Summer – Founder of Gymnastics Bodies. Podcast with Carl Paoli – Founder of Free Style Connection), I’ve completed the CF gymnastics course and I’ve been fortunate to be coached by a former Cirque de Solei gymnast, former US national team gymnast and also by a former top UK gymnastic athlete and coach. Below program is just a simple 1 session a week gymnastics program that you can use as inspiration to your own training, clients programming or general class programming. Marco overview: BLOCK 1 (13 WEEKS) ~The goal of this block is to build a strong foundation/base. This will be achieved through static & strict work mainly. The goal of this block is to work towards improving the strict standards of the IF zones sheet.

  • Training Program at Home
    Training Program at Home To help you stay active, the BETTER team offers you these three training programs. You can do each workout once a week to familiarize yourself with the exercises. Current physical activity recommendations for people living with type 1 diabetes are to perform 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week. Exercise is considered moderate when you feel short of breath but are still able to speak. For the first week, the objective is to start moving. As the weeks progress, you should consider increasing the intensity. Consult your health care team before beginning a training program, especially if you are unsure about the exercises suggested. During exercise, the number of extra carbohydrates to be consumed and the amount of insulin to be reduced are determined by trial and error. There is no universal method. ​ Monitor your blood glucose levels regularly DURING and up to 24 hours AFTER exercise. You may also need to adjust your mealtime insulin doses depending on when you exercise. Here are some charts that may give you suggestions for insulin and carbohydrate adjustments. To learn more about exercise-related blood glucose management, join the SUPPORT online platform by completing the 3 BETTER Registry questionnaires. Learn more. ​ ​ Program 1 *For weights: you can use dumbbells (DB), kettlebells (KB), elastics, or anything in your house that provides some weight → example: cans of soups! ​ ​ Workout 1 WARM UP → Perform 1-2-3 then repeat a total of 3 times. → Rest 30 sec between exercises. 1- High knees x 30 sec 1- ​ ​ ​ 2- Butt kicks x 30 sec ​ ​ ​ 3- Crossover toe touch x10 each side ​ ​ ​ → Rest 1-2min then start Circuit 1.
