Today was supposed to be a muscular endurance class, but I only had one person show up who was a fourteen year old girl, so I went a bit easy on her. She was also an hour late, so I was doing a cardio circuit beforehand by myself. As such, I had to go REALLY easy on her during the warm-up.. But it consisted of a few QM laps, forwards and backwards, duck-walking laps, jogging, jump-tucks, and then some light conditioning. She did five push-ups (I did a plyometric push-up set, 5 pus into different stances, three sets), 20 squats, a minute of front plank, and repeated for a bit.
She had some issues with hip flexibility and jumping, so we mostly worked on progressing her into moving with her hips more and getting some more power on her jump. But I also did a lot for her in the regard of conditioning techniques, hanging, crouched pull-ups, slow climbs, etc. I think it went over very well, and I didn't even get her into the whole "this vault, that jump" mentality. A very eager and willing student. She'll go far.
What I was doing was a lot of side conditioning with climb-ups, jump-tucks, squats, push-ups in the midst of a few runs. I also managed to get one hell of a cat leap that I at first didn't think I would be able to get. MUCH easier than it looked. So I incorporated it into a few runs. Overall, a good training day, and at least I got to train the endurance aspect, as I kept my muscles in a state of fatigue for a good deal of the two hours.
