Calisthenics and Tai Chi (bodyweight and Chen Taijiquan)
From 37.19 C$ /h
Whole body workouts through CALISTHENICS (bodyweight training) or with minimal equipment that focus on function and the kinetic chain to combine strength, endurance, and mobility in one session, yet gentle enough to your Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) that it leaves you feeling energetic yet you are not sore.
With this method, you can combine this workout with your favorite sport/activity. This gives you the opportunity to have a daily routine and be consistent with your fitness. In turn, this gives you a higher training volume which will quickly improve your exercise technique and form.
As for duration, you can have a full body workout for as little as 20 minutes, with the remaining 10 minutes used for extra stretching and cooling down. This teaches you a pragmatic approach to fitness training that doesn't take too much of your time.
An additional 30 minutes can be added for a Tai Chi class. Tai Chi training helps you develop your kinetic chain (whole body integration in movement) which is great in building your balance and coordination. Through this process, you also learn to relax which makes you more efficient in your movement. Learning curve starts with simple and easy to learn Qigong movement and breathing.
You have the option of having a hybrid class of calisthenics and Tai Chi or just focus on either. Modifications of movements are provided to children and seniors.

About Me
I am a fitness and movement coach with certifications in personal training and martial arts. I also have a desk job giving Tagalog language services. Being a busy professional and a parent, I have learned to be pragmatic in my approach to general fitness as well as sport-specific fitness (e.g. the martial arts I train in). I make it a point to train everyday but in a practical and time efficient way which covers all aspects of fitness and yet leaves me with energy and enthusiasm to perform all my responsibilities and still train the next day. My mission is to educate you in being able to do the same thing. Come, let's talk!
