systems to develop efficient and pain-free movements
Specific formats - ANS Incorporation of a variety of formats, including kickboxing, indoor
cycling, yoga, dance, resistance training, and boot camp, which provides more ability
to explore opportunities long-term.
Movement preparation - ANS The systematic implementation of flexibility, core, balance,
