SCI BC Peer, Leo Sammarelli has been boxing for 10 years and teaching adaptive boxing since June 2019. We’re excited to announce that he’s now leading an online boxing home-workout for Peers! These workouts are designed to help with physical strength and functionality in every day life, and focus on: building core strength, cardiovascular health (adaptive Tabata), range of motion and flexibility, functional breathing, coordination and joint and muscle health. Join him and other Peers online for these intense and super fun workouts!
Please bring a long stick (broom stick or dowel), free weights (soup cans, etc.) and a theraband.
