Ballet Burn

Listen to the strains of Swan Lake and Nutcracker Suite, as we stretch and tone our total body with ballet moves.


BOSU Ball

The BOSU Ball (an acronym for “both sides utilized”) is essentially an exercise ball cut in half. Jogging on the “ball” side is low impact aerobics, and also challenging to the core muscles and balance. Push-ups done on the “flat” side (ball side down) include the challenge of stabilizing the ball, in addition to the strength of the push-up. The BOSU workout integrates balance, core stability, cardiovascular, and muscular endurance.


Belly Dancing

Belly dancing offers many benefits.   In addition to the obvious—learning a graceful, fun and exciting new art form—belly dancing works several muscle groups.

Different movements target different areas of the body.   For example, the “shoulder shimmy” is great for deltoids, biceps and triceps.   “Hip drops” are great for the obliques as well as the glutes, calves & quads; and the constant shifting of body weight from one leg to the other leg, increases loading on the hip joint, knees and ankles, in a safe way.


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.


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

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.


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

Trampoline 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 rebounder, 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.

Rebounding also strengthens the spine.   Rebounding 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 training will burn fat, build muscle, and give you killer abs!


Wedge

Yoga

Yoga is a therapy which helps you to become more aware of your body’s posture, alignment, and patterns of movement.   It makes the body more flexible, and helps to relax, even in the midst of a stress-stricken environment.

Physiological Benefits of Yoga include:

• increasing flexibility, and relieving stiffness in the back and neck
• increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons, helping to prevent injury
• muscle toning, increasing strength throughout the entire body, including the spine
• improving postural alignment and correcting round and sluggish shoulders
  

These enormous physical benefits are just a “side-effect” of this powerful practice.   Yoga harmonizes the mind with the body, relieving the detrimental effects of stress upon our physical, endocrinal and emotional systems.
