Level II Internship March 22-26 2010

We just completed the first level I course for the year. The emphasis on this internship was detailed programming during the initial phases of training to develop muscular balance and flexibility so future programs could include advanced methods and exercises without being held back by weak & tight muscles. I also drank a record amount of tea and, given that it was my birthday week, ate an unusually large amount of cake!
