Aerobics and Exercise Classes

TABATA

Tabata is a high intensity interval training workout. Tabata was discovered by Japanese scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata and a team of researchers from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo. The structure of the program is: workout hard for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds. Complete 8 rounds. You push yourself as hard as you can for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds until you complete 8 sets, after which you earn a one minute rest! In my Saturday morning class we warm up for about 10 minutes first, complete the Tabata training for 20-30 minutes, finish with abs segment and full body stretch. I have “Tabata boards” posted in front of the room showing each set of exercises and a high and low impact alternative. You will leave feeling exhausted but amazing!

yOGA

Hatha yoga is generally slow paced and gentle and provides a good introduction to the basic yoga poses. Like Hatha, Vinyasa is a general term that is used to describe breath-synchronized movement. It tends to be more of a vigorous style based on the performance of a series of poses called “Sun Salutations” in which movement is matched to the breath. Vinyasa classes typically start with Sun Salutations to warm up the body for more intense stretching or instruction for individual poses later in the class. Since participants have varied experience with yoga and may be at different fitness level, we combine these two styles to make our class manageable for everyone. Yoga blocks, pillows, blankets, mats and straps are provided in limited supply (if you have your own, please bring them)

hiit

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of interval training, a cardiovascular exercise alternating short periods of intense anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery periods. It pushes you to give 100% effort through quick bursts. This type of training gets and keeps your heart rate up and burns more fat in less time.

pha TRAINING

 Peripheral Heart Action Training is a system that was developed by Dr. Arthur Steinhaus in the 1940’s and brought to the forefront of the muscle world by the 1960’s by legendary body builder and Mr. America/Universe title holder, Bob Gajda. The PHA method was specifically designed to keep blood circulating throughout the whole body during the entire workout. The smaller muscles around the heart are worked first before the larger muscles around the body’s periphery.
PHA is like circuit training, however it differs in its emphasis on not localizing the muscles, but instead increasing heart rate through resistance and movement combined. This is an effective method for making exercise more tolerable by eliminating prolonged burning feelings in the muscles, creating a more compliant exercise program.
