DESCRIPTION:

Join other CMT youth for weekly group exercise! This fun and upbeat workout will focus on the key issues that come from having CMT. Sessions will be led by a trainer who lives with CMT, creating a level of comfort and understanding between teacher and student. These sessions will help your child or teen develop confidence in everyday life, and foster friendships with other youth living with CMT. There will be a focus on strength training and balance, but we’ll make it enjoyable and fun. 

 

All exercises will have seated options, and standing variations will be shown where applicable. At the end of each session, we’ll do some floor exercises and stretches. If your child or teen is not comfortable coming to the floor, this portion can be done on a bed or couch. 

 

Weekly sessions are 50 mins and in between sessions, the participants will be assigned exercises and stretches on the Everfit exercise app.​
