Walk/Jog
The class will start with 5 minutes of walking followed by 5 minutes of light jogging, alternating each mode until 35 minutes is up; we finish with walking and cool down stretches.

This class is split in half: first we work on mobilizing all the major joints of the body and building heat in the body through MOVING, big and small...and dedicate the second half of the class to cooling down in active stretching...solo, partner, with therabands if available.
