Stage 1 is all about starting to move, progressively adding load through the whole body, but particularly through the lower leg muscles. In Stage 1, the main exercises focus on gentle strengthening of the lower leg muscles, secondary exercises include light resistance training to upper body muscles and a bit of core and balance work thrown into the mix.
When to progress to the next stage? Should you find yourself taking all the progressive options and feeling quite comfortable with all the exercise sets then we would recommend jumping up a stage. Alternatively, if you find yourself taking the lighter options then no worries, you have a target to reach before progressing!
Ali and Jemma have designed the sessions and planned the stages to progressivly expose you to a variety of lower body (and full body) exercises, aiming to get you stronger, more mobile and more confident with moving your hips and knees.
Although we have tried our best to keep all shapes and sizes in mind, no one program is best for all. If you have any questions or queries regarding an exercise or soreness in your hips and knee's please do not hesitate to reach out to us for further help and guidance.
