ABOUT

Do you like to work on your stamina and strength in addition to your dance practice? Do you like being outdoors in Spring and Summer (OR 'when the weather allows')? Join your dance colleagues, train together!

Helsegym is functional strengthening training together with others from the dance field. The sessions focus on activating and loading large muscle groups in the body in a way that can support your dance practice. Helsegym takes place outdoors and will follow the format of circuit training. We use our own body weight, work dynamically, and visit high intensity. The exercises can be modified up and down, to adapt the load specifically to your body.

Do you have a resistance band or two large water bottles? Bring them along, we will use them to adjust the load on certain exercises.

The goal of the session is to increase the working capacity of the muscles, heart, and to have some fun!
