Sharing Just 'Cause

I wrote up an hour-long bodyweight-based strength routine for a personal training client who is interested in developing strength specific to make her a better dancer. She's a novice dancer. Here's what I came up with for today. I include this in case you're interested in trying it yourself.

Warm-up:
1 minute jumping jacks
1 minute seal jacks
1 minute active runners stretch
1 minute slow side lunges (dragons)

Routine (x2 or x3, depending on endurance):
1 minute lunges
1 minute squats
1 minute 1-leg Romanian deadlifts
1 minute 1-leg Romanian deadlifts
2 minutes sustained Egyptian shimmy
1 minute bridge
1 minute side plank
1 minute side plank
1 minute plank

Static stretches at end

The plan is to strengthen her core and to begin developing more explosive strength through her legs. I'm starting off a little slow, and will be ramping her up to do more intensive work in the weeks to come. I'll be able to gauge her progress with these exercises, and figure out how to scale them up or back as necessary.

I'll be changing this around from week to week, but I think it's a pretty good start. The other training day is based on dance technique. Since our training days are back to back, I am only doing the strength training on one day, so she has recovery time.
