The session should include the following: • cardiovascular component (bodyweight or using apparatus) • resistance section (can be demonstrated on either resistance machines or free weights or other small apparatus using appropriate training methods for a group) • other (could include specific stretching./mobility techniques or ‘functional’ exercise to include bodyweight suitable for the group).
