Circuit is a fun, high-energy class with the perfect amount of challenge to improve muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, posture, bone density, range of motion, and balance.
It’s recommended for seniors who are currently exercising, not afraid to sweat, and want to improve or maintain their overall strength and fitness.
Each Class Includes:
• A quick exercise review offering modifications.
• A short 4-minute warm-up.
• Timed intervals lasting 10 to 60 seconds.
• A variety of exercises based on the 7 essential movements: push, pull, hinge, twist, squat, lunge, and gait to improve functional fitness.
• Floor and body weight exercises so you can maintain the strength and dexterity needed to get yourself up and down off the floor.
• Isometric contractions to activate deeper muscle fibers for more muscle strength.
• A short 4-minute cool down to maintain flexibility.
Live Classes are: Mon, Wed, & Fri 11:15 am-12:15 pm Pacific Time (2:15 pm ET)
