Glad you asked! The goal of incorporating locomotion into your routine is to ENHANCE what you’re currently doing. The better your body moves, the better you can tackle your other activities.

For example:

• Monkey and Frogger can be used to improve your squat or overhead squat by tackling mobility in ankles, knees and hips.
• Bear can help improve flexibility in areas like shoulders, spine and hamstrings, as well as build overhead strength. 
• Bent-arm locomotion movements can be a great addition for improving pressing strength. 
• If you play with speed and tempo of these movements, they can be TOUGH and a great conditioning push.
• If you move slowly, you’ll get to know your body better and create coordination and control that’ll help you move more easily in other areas of your life.

Plus, one of the best parts about it is that all you need is your body and some floor space. It makes it a convenient (and fun!) way to improve on areas that often get neglected in other training programs.

There is no right or wrong way to do these! Everyone starts somewhere, and things like current mobility and fitness levels, previous athletic experience, injuries, etc, all impact how individuals move. When you look around the workshop, you will quickly realize no one person moves the same.

I encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone and enjoy the process instead of worrying about how you look doing it. Ultimately, everyone is there to have some FUN and better their health and fitness.

Yes! You have TWO GMB Fitness Coaches who will be present to guide and support you.

While workshop participants will remain muted during the session (outside from specific Q&A periods), you will get the following coaching support:

1. Questions can be asked via the “chat” feature. All questions will be answered during the live session. Your Coach may unmute you for conversation when needed.
2. Participants may choose to keep video on, especially during the movement portion of the workshop (when you try some of the locomotion exercises). This way, the Coach can mention any feedback they see (i.e. corrections) to help you get even more out of the session!

Note: If you’re not comfortable joining via video, no worries. It’s not mandatory. 

This workshop is open to all levels of fitness. During our session, we will move through various “sections”, such as presentation/discussion, stretch breaks, and of course, locomotion exploration. What that means is that we won’t be doing locomotion for the entire two hours as I know that would be a lot!

In saying that, participants will be spending time in positions like the bottom of a squat and will be on wrists quite a bit. If you are someone who is new or coming in with injuries, you are encouraged to take rests whenever needed and even watch/take notes if it is too much. You may also reach out to me at [email protected] directly if you are still unsure.

The recording of the workshop will be sent to participants, so you can still tackle it if you can’t make the session live.

Refunds are not available once registration is received. The recording will be sent if you’re unable to make it live. 

Yes! You are encouraged to take what you learn and integrate it into your weekly movement routine (ideas will be provided in the workshop). You will receive the workshop recording, which you can go back to and reference anytime.

You can also reach out to Coach Jenn or Ashley directly to learn about course or customized program options.
