tabata

Tabata training is a High intensity interval training, HIIT workout. Tabata training 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 until you complete eight sets, after which you've earned a one minute rest! In my Saturday morning class we warm up for about 10 minutes first, complete the Tabata training for 20 to 30 minutes, finish with an "abs" segment and full body stretch. I have "Tabata Boards" posted in the front of the room showing each set of exercises and a high and low impact alternative. You will leave feeling exhausted but amazing!

boot camp

Want to kick start your workout routine? Try Boot Camp. This class is designed as an athletic workout for males and females. The class varies each session from plyometrics to push ups and from sprints to squats. Boot Camp combines it all into an effective and challenging workout. Great for all levels from beginner to advanced-you choose your intensity.

zumba

When participants see a Zumba class in action, they can't wait to give it a try. Zumba classes feature exotic rhythms set to high-energy Latin and international beats. Before participants know it they're getting fit and their energy levels are soaring! There's no other fitness class like a Zumba Fitness Party. It's easy to do, effective and totally exhilarating, often building a deep-rooted community among returning students.

yoga

Hatha style 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 a more 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 levels, 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.)
