Using a step, this class combines cardio with strength training in order to improve cardiovascular function, build muscle strength, enhance coordination and stability, and work your memory. We do this by introducing a series of functional exercises which stack in sequence to complete the routine. Functional training is designed to make daily activities easier to perform.
This class will take you through songs that will have you burning calories and toning muscles. Cardio dance moves, body resistance, and dumbbells are used to target and fatigue different body areas. Each song has its own dedicated routine – at first, it’s all new but as you learn the routines, the workout intensifies and the hour flies by. If you have access to a lighter pair and a medium pair of dumbbells, make sure you have them for this class as we dance and workout with some great tunes.
In this class, we will pair cardio-intense kickboxing techniques with muscle-building kettlebell exercises. This well-rounded class will burn calories, increase muscle tone, improve flexibility and coordination, and work out pent-up stress.
A combination of step aerobic exercises and high-intensity interval training with pulse-pounding music, this class can help you build strength, reduce fat, boost cardiovascular health, and have a positive effect on your mental health (specifically, your brain’s neuroplasticity).
This class cycles through different sets of exercises, “ascending and descending” the ladder, as each set increases and then decreases in duration. This form of training helps to build strength and muscular endurance as well as taxing your cardiorespiratory system. You’ll need some light to moderate weights (dumbbells) and you’ll probably want to have your mat available.
