CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Kettlebell Training Class will help kick all your fitness goals into high gear!  Functional, compound exercises work multiple muscle groups simultaneously, developing strength and muscular endurance and efficient caloric expenditure.  With a focus on integrating breathing, movement and alignment with your ability to control balance and weight.  Working with the kettlebell is combined with jumping rope and body weight exercises for an all around heart-pumping workout.

☮ Seniors Kettlebell Fundamentals is a 5 week program to introduce older adults to kettlebell training.  The functional strength and muscular endurance benefits of kettlebell training are easily modified to adapt to the needs of the older participant.  Instead of attempting to adjust to the sometimes frenetic workout programs of a younger generation, older adults will find much to challenge them in a comfortable setting with this program.

☮ Seniors Kettlebell Training: Kettlebell Classes for Older Adults Offering both cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise and strength-based (anaerobic) movements, kettlebells can be used to improve overall functioning, making every day activities easier and more enjoyable.  Off-setting some of the effects of muscle loss due to aging, strength training helps with bone health and metabolism. Kettlebell training will also assist with balance, flexibility and core strength.

Gentle Yoga is based on a fitness yoga model of practice and is a class friendly to those who are looking to recover from an intense workout.  It is also an appropriate format for individuals with stress-related soft-tissue tension, arthritis, and a variety of joint injuries.  A gentle flow warm-up sets the tone for stretches, basic postures, and a rejuvenating final relaxation.

Creative Core is a yoga-inspired approach to a strong core.  Rather than repetitive crunches, this class will take you through flowing segments which engage and challenge your body, incorporating core strength with stretch and flexibility movements. Stir your creativity, you just might find yourself enjoying core training.

Core Dujour: 30 intense minutes of exercises for your abdominal region, low back strength and other stabilizing muscles.  Isolation and functional core movements will be integrated into the class.  This will create the fire in your belly you’re looking for.

Morning Moxie: Gumption. Grit. Backbone.  Bring it all with you for the best wake up class you’ve ever attended.  Circuits and drills, old school standbys and cutting edge training protocols will  be your best reason for getting out of bed – think Boot Camp.  Oh, and bring along outdoor footwear and weather-appropriate clothing because you just never know…  Challenge yourself, amass your energy, intensify your focus and own your day.

Kettlebell  Circuit :  Take some classic kettlebell moves, add some new kettlebell moves, vary the mix with battling ropes, clubbells, gymsticks, gymnastics rings and bodyweight exercises, and experience an overall workout which will tax your endurance, demand your focus, stress every muscle in your body and leave you in a lather.  Sounds like fun! This class is held the first Saturday of each month.
