5 Workout Classes You Should Try!

Getting as much exercise as possible is critical to maintaining both physical and mental health. Whether your into hitting the weights, running, swimming, or doing something else it’s great to break a sweat.

However, it can get a little bit repetitive and tedious to do the same thing over and over again. Also, its a’lot more fun to do stuff as a group!

We took a look a 5 different fitness class groups and gave you a short run down on what you can expect!

Enjoy and get out there and get in shape! 

1. Bikram Yoga

Although most people don’t think of Yoga as being very sweat producing, Bikram Yoga will change your view on that! Bikram Yoga is done at high temperatures, and is based around 26 different postures.

Bikram Yoga has been shown to benefit every muscle, joint, ligament, tendon, and organ in the body. Overall, its great at helping your body grow, and reduce your likelihood at developing any conditions!

2. Kettle Bells

Kettle Bells are the cannonball shaped weights that you most likely have seen at your local gym. Depending on what type of class you do, you’ll most likely get a strong dose of swinging the kettle bells, and incorporating other exercises and routines.

Kettle Bells are great at firing up a large amount of muscles, aiding in losing weight, improving your posture, and helping ladies get the rear they always dreamed of! An added bonus? They really help improve your daily tasks such as lifting things and endurance!

3. Pilates

Pilates is a great body and mind workout centered around quality movement, proper breathing, and controlling your overall body.

What are some of the benefits? Improved core strength and stability, improved posture and balance, better flexibility, and treatment of back pain!

4. Spin

Looking for a high energy and exciting workout? Give a spin class a shot! Get on that stationary bike and pedal your heart out! Sweat and burnt calories quickly follow.

Spin is great for both your mental and physical being. It helps increase your mental limit on how far you can really push yourself, and you can do this while getting distracted by loud, killer music (if your into Flo Rida and Kelly Clarkson Remixes)! Obviously this is a great workout for your legs, but you also get quite the burn through your whole body as classes incorporate a bunch of different routines such as lifts and pushups.

5. Cross Fit

Cross Fit is a fitness routine developed around a constantly varied combination of movements performed at high intensity. It was designed around encompassing many sports such as rowing, climbing, throwing, olympic weightlifting and others!

Cross fit is great at burning calories, improved your endurance, increases joint mobility, and many crossfit gyms become a great place to meet people!
