Our cardio work-outs include Boxing, BOSU Ball, Cardio Sculpt, Fencing, Hula Hoop, Kickboxing, Spin, Step and Sculpt, Trampoline, Tred n’ Shed, and Warrior Workout.

Boxing

Boxing training stimulates all muscle groups, and provides the perfect combination of aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (short-burst, without oxygen) exercise. The boxing workout improves every type of physical capacity: strength, coordination, reflexes, aerobic fitness, anaerobic fitness, and endurance.


BOSU Ball

“BOSU” is an acronym for “Both Sides Utilized”. One side is completely flat, and the opposite side is essentially an exercise ball cut in half. All BOSU classes provide training for balance, and develop core muscles. The variation given at Smart Workout also includes cardio (jogging on the BOSU Ball), and strength (squats, push-ups). BOSU is particularly helpful for people with back problems.


Cardio Sculpt

You don’t have to be graceful to follow the easy moves of this fast paced workout, which will get your heart pumping. The routine includes squats and lunges, to tone the legs and butt.


Hula Hoop

This low impact aerobic workout is an intense calorie burner. Weighted hula-hoops are used to tone abdominal muscles, promote correct body alignment, and increase balance.


Kickboxing

This workout is a fast combo of side kicks, jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, and foot work. It is an intense workout, which burns loads of calories, and builds strength and endurance.


Spin

Spin is an intense, low-impact cardiovascular workout, which can burn 500 calories or more in a 45 minute class.

Spinning includes a variety of rides, combining hills and plains, (climbs and sprints), which are simulated by increasing or decreasing the resistance of the special bike.

Spinning also tones the lower body and builds endurance.
Spin is a fun and challenging workout, that’s suitable for all ages.


Step and Sculpt

“Step” is a low-impact aerobic workout, incorporating the action of stepping onto a platform to intensify the workout. “Step and Sculpt” is fusion workout, incorporating the use of free weights within an aerobic step routine.

Tred n’ Shed

Tred n’Shed is an intensive 30 minute workout on the treadmill, employing interval bursts of speed., and incline; and backward and sideway walking to work a variety of muscles. Each participant is given a polar band to monitor heart rate. Only 2 people are permitted in this very special class.


Trampoline

Trampolining is an exercise that reduces body fat; firms legs, thighs, abdomen, arms and hips; increases agility; improves balance and coordination; strengthens muscles overall; and provides an aerobic effect for the heart.

Trampolining utilizes 3 forces: gravity, acceleration, and deceleration.   If your body is exposed to 1 ½ times the usual force of gravity, your body will strengthen itself to cope with the stress.

A study by NASA found that Trampolining as an exercise is 68% more oxygen efficient than other forms of exercise.   What this means is that you can exercise quite vigorously on a trampoline, without feeling out of breath, but still gain the same benefits you would from jogging on pavement.   It avoids the shin splints and knee problems associated with exercise on hard surfaces.   It also has the beneficial effect of restoring bone mass and can actually stop osteoporosis from getting any worse.

Trampolining also strengthens the spine.   Trampolining maximizes spinal imbibition, creating a positive impact on spinal and intervertebral disc health.


Warrior Workout

Warrior Workout is a boot camp body conditioning with a focus on strength, agility, and speed. This is the intense training needed to build a warrior’s physique. A fast paced combo of dead lifts, planks, jogging over hurdles, push-ups, and sit-ups, this class will burn fat, build muscle, and give you killer abs!
