Group Fitness for Men…Really

Men, please toss aside the old perceptions of aerobics, and come to the reality of what Group Fitness is all about. Most classes are focused on multi-functional training—employed in sports such as cycling, tennis, backpacking, soccer, running, jogging and golf. I know what you are thinking: I need coordination to take a Group Fitness class. This is not true for most of the combo classes on AR&FC’s schedule. The movements are simple, easy to learn and focus more on core stability, speed, agility, strength and balance than actual coordination. So You are safe to try a class, and to feel successful doing so!

Suggested classes to try include Cycle, Cycle-it/Pump-it, Ride and Sculpt, Cycle/Weights and Abs, Cycle with Weights Intervals, PSCYCO, Full Body Workout, Step Boxing, Yoga and Pilates. Yes, include Yoga and Pilates for flexibility, core stability, balance, muscle balance and symmetry. See the article in September’s Men’s Journal: “Can Real Men Do Pilates?” You will be surprised to see that Tiger Woods, Jason Kidd, Troy Polamalu and Curt Shilling all practice Pilates as part of their workout routine. If Yoga or Pilates is still not for you, try our Abs and Back class on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 5:30 PM. So no more excuses; try a class today!

New Class: Step Boxing

On Tuesday nights at 6:00 PM, Bonnie will teach a kickboxing class with steps, bands, flappers and more. It is a high-energy class using simple punching and kicking sequences and fun music. Everyone can do this class. It will focus on balance, core stability, strength, hand/eye coordination, timing, pace setting, endurance and cardiovascular. It is a fun way to do cardio and to work the core!
