Welcome to Focus Warm-up 2: Turnout & Alignment, guided by Jenna Roberts! This session focuses on strengthening the key hip and inner thigh muscles that support turnout and proper leg positioning. The class begins with Dynamic Iliopsoas Conditioning, which activates muscles essential for controlled leg lifts. Later, Alignment Enhancement helps refine balance and weight placement through precise fondu and pivot exercises.

Throughout the class, the emphasis is on building strong, stable hips and thighs to maintain turnout from the hips with correct posture and alignment.

Tips:

Remind students that turnout originates in the hips, supported by engaged hip and inner thigh muscles.

Cue pelvic stability and core activation to protect the lower back.

Encourage controlled, mindful movements during pivots to maintain alignment and balance.

Emphasise synchronising breath with movement to enhance control.
