GROUP CYCLING CLASSES

ABOUT GROUP CYCLING CLASSES

Typical class involves a single instructor at the front of the class who leads the participants through routines that are designed to simulate terrain and situations similar to riding a bike outdoors. Some of the movements and positions include hill climbs, sprints and interval training. A well-trained instructor uses music, motivation and enthusiastic coaching to lead students through a ride that best suits their fitness level and goals. Most instructors will lead what is called an interval ride, this is where students will sprint, run, climb, and jump all in the same ride but there will not be definable pattern to the exercises.

Each person in the class can choose their own goals for the session. Some participants choose to maintain a moderate, aerobic intensity level, while others drive their heart rates higher in intervals of anaerobic activity. This is a major advantage of indoor cycling: each participant can control his/her level of intensity; the classes can therefore be heterogeneous.

Besides being a great form of aerobic activity (burning between 400-600 calories in 40 minutes), indoor cycling is also beneficial in strengthening the muscles of the lower body. It tones the quadriceps and hamstrings, along with working the back and hips.

STEP AEROBICS/AB TONING

Step Class

What?  Step aerobics is distinguished from other forms of aerobic exercise by its use of an elevated platform (the step). The height can be tailored to individual needs by inserting risers under the step. Step aerobics classes are offered at many gyms and fitness centers which have a group exercise program.

Benefits? Step aerobics helps burn calories. The number of calories burned depends on the speed of movements, step height, and length of exercise time. Step aerobics provides endurance training, which helps maintain the health of the cardiovascular system. The strength training component of step aerobics helps improve gait and balance. Step aerobics provides flexibility training that enhances joint movements. Step aerobics has a positive impact on mental health as well. Since the workout is fun and enjoyable, it can help release stress. If the workout is done in a group, the exercise session can create social connections with others. Lastly, step aerobics is suitable for all ages.

Time  This portion of class lasts ˝ hour.

 

Abdominal Toning Class

What?  The stability ball is one of the best pieces of equipment for abdominal exercise. Since it requires balance, your deeper core muscles must be active in order to stay stable on the ball. The ball can also increase your range of motion. For example, when performing traditional crunches, your range of motion is limited by the floor. In contrast, the stability ball allows you to add extension to the return movement.

Time  This portion of class lasts ˝ hour and is the second part of class.

 

Classes will be held on Tuesdays 7:30pm-8:30pm & Wednesdays 5:00pm-6:00pm (starting 2/28/12)
