Today was another class night, and all of the same kids showed up again. Because it was the same kids, they could progress further from the exercises they did on Monday. One interesting piece of equipment they used was a belt you put on, with four sets of tubing coming out of it. Two of them go around your feet and run down your legs, and the other two are held in your arms. They did movement exercises while wearing these belts, to help with both strength and flexibility.
Another huge piece I learned more about today was possibly the single most important goal in using the Burdenko method- alignment. The reason this is all so effective is because your body is always in a completely straight, proper positions so no exercises you are doing will cause further injury. It trains your body to do everything correctly and with quality. These exercises do not harm your body, they are incredibly beneficial to it.
Today I also got a little taste of what its like to run a fitness business, and the types of things that go into these classes. Laurie spent some of the day thinking of names to call her classes, and also the types of flyers, videos, banners, etc she wanted to promote what she was doing. I also saw the thought and time she put into planning all the exercises and having a good idea of what she was going to do for the class. Tomorrow morning I will head back to campus and spend the remainder of my week reading and doing research on the founder of all this Igor Burdenko.
