Today we covered:
- The difference between Body Con and MSE for the purposes of planning your exam class: Body Conditioning is standing (squats, lunges, standing upper body work) MSE is lying – abs, pressups, side leg lifts, exercises on all fours etc.
- Exploring floor-based bodyweight MSE exercises: ab curls, press ups and dorsal raises
- Revisiting the Stretch Reflex, Reciprocal and Autogenic Inhibition
- The Cool Down Stretch
- Zoning in for correction
- Maintenance and Developmental stretching
- Exploring which muscles might need developmental stretching and why
- Sequencing of cool down stretches
- How to deliver relaxation
- Special populations
Planning reminder….
Wnen putting your final class together you will need to plan when you are going motivate the group AND when you are going to stay silent. The start and end of class is a good opportunity for scripting — see document to the right

Relaxation videos
Please make sure you take a moment after viewing these to make sure you are revitalised and safe to carry on with your daily activities. These videos provide examples of tense – release relaxation and the final one is just a breathing video (I love this one)
If you run a stretch class – including a relaxation or breath section can be a great addition.
