Are you sick of boring workouts alone at the gym? If you’re lacking motivation to work out, why not join an exercise class? Classes require group accountability and are usually lots of fun! Check your local gym for a list of classes available. Talk to your friends and see if they are interested in joining. Here is a list of 5 Exercise classes and what they consist of:
- Aerobics
Is a type of cardiovascular exercise preformed to music in a group setting? It is a fun low to high impact workout for anyone who does not suffer from knee problems. Also if you’re uncoordinated, aerobics may not be the right exercise for you.
- Body Sculpting or Weight Lifting
This exercise uses weights and resistance bands to tone upper, middle and lower body. Consists of repetitions of exercises. Joining a class ensures you learn proper techniques. If you have had any body injury it is best to see a trainer and be put on a customized sculpting plan.
- Pilates
Was first developed by Joseph Pilates and is a series of exercises to improve body alignment, posture, and muscle and core strength. It is particularly good at burning fat from the hips, thighs and behind. I highly recommend for weight loss and targeting the mid section area.
- Spinning
This is a group cycling exercise class preformed on stationary bikes. The class leader guides spinners through a pretend bike course for 45-60 minutes. Many trainers say that a good spin class can burn up to 600 calories. Great for those who enjoy biking.
- Yoga
Is a type of exercise which improves posture and promotes a state of relaxation. Yoga classes range from beginner to master and are offered in most cities. A great exercise to strength train the body and quiet the mind.
Now the exercise choice is up to you! With so many options pick the one you will enjoy the most. Commit yourself to the class and reap the benefits of increased weight loss. Even better enjoy many different classes for the best weight loss results.
