Interval Training: Movement and Balance

Class 1 in our series with David Drew provides a great workout to help you feel stronger and energized


Video run time is 27 minutes.
MOA Staff

Interval training is based on alternating short bursts of more intense activity with longer periods of low-impact exercise, all of which can be done easily at home with a mix of body weight and simple equipment, and can help you gain strength, flexibility and stamina.

In Class 1 of this interval training series, Movement and Balance, you’ll learn squats, step-ups, plank shoulder touches and lunges. 

Recommended props: chair, small box or couch. And have a water bottle nearby!

Led by David Drew, a certified instructor from Old City CrossFit in Washington, D.C., this class offers a fun and fulfilling approach to strength training while providing modifications and support for independently mobile participants who have a basic physical activity level. His first interval training series for AARP, which he references in the video, can be found on YouTube.

Please consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
