The aim of this 8 week training cycle is simply to improve overall strength and conditioning. Of course we'll be doing this in a manner that is in keeping with The Body School perspective on human movement but it will be a chance to develop general strength, build muscle and improve aerobic conditioning within those boundaries. GPP is used widely within the strength and conditioning world and is usually the first phase of any training periodisation. It provides a chance to build more general capacity within the body so that whichever area you are wanting to specialise in after, you are better prepared for physically. So whether you are planning to run a marathon, go on a trekking holiday in the mountains or simply want to feel a bit stronger and fitter, this course will set you up nicely.

You'll need the following equipment:
- A Mat.
- A Thick Book or Two (ideally large enough to fit both feet).
- Two Yoga Blocks.
- A Pilates Ball.
- Some Wall Space
- A Chair or Stool
- A Towel.
- A Pillow (optional).
