Today was the second day that we did student teaching. First Leah and Katrina taught us some cardio pilates exercises. It was really creative because they incorporated paper plates into the workout. We used them to do sliding planks and push ups. It was challenging but really unique at the same time so I liked it a lot! We also did a lot of high jumps which really got our heart rates going.
The second group, Meredith and Paxton, taught us a barre method workout. It was really hard for me because I was using a 15 lb kettlebell and I'm just not that strong. I really liked the exercises they used though because they were a little harder so I definitely felt my leg muscles working in the squats and arm muscles when twisting and lifting the weight. I couldn't really do all the exercises at the pace with my weight but it would be cool to try them again with a weight more suitable to my strength level.
The last group, Angela and Pengyu, slowed it down and taught us some yoga. I think it was a great way to end class because it was so calming and I got a really good stretch from it. We did a lot of repetitions of each pose so I could personally really feel the stretch. I most enjoyed the tree pose because I liked focusing on balancing my center!
