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.
Classes will be offered at the following times:
TUESDAYS 9:30AM-10:30AM

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)
