Functional Body Training™-SIDE logo-black lower case FRDE.png

Since 2007, I've been creating formats, utilizing my professional dance and fitness training to design a series of dance-based exercise programs that incorporate the use of a resistance tools I call Flex Ropes™. Under my banner, Functional Body Training Flex Ropes Dance Exercise™, there are several workouts from this effort ranging from dance cardio to strength training, all meant to bring variety to our overall program and your experience. If you are an instructor, you may be able to certify and earn CEUs. Please contact me for details.

Jenn and I have been working to strengthen her knees and legs to support her upper body. She has a very unique anatomy and has weathered 5 knee surgeries, which can be challenging when working with the forces of Flex Ropes. One of our goals is to prepare her for taking control of her body to potentially prevent or lessen her impact experience in the event of a fall or sudden loss of balance. We are also working on functional coordination, encouraging a more automatic mind-nerve-muscle triggering by repeating rhythmic dance movement at the same time she's performing a Flex Rope assisted resistance exercise.
