Hello, dear fitters!
I can imagine that not everyone of you is a huge fan of the gym. Honestly, sometimes it gets boring doing workouts on your own, and I definitely need some extra motivation and diversity to keep going. This is why I strongly support group classes such as aerobics, zumba or stretching.
My most favorite group workout have always been aerobics classes. Having an instructor show you and do everything with you is highly motivational as the exercises seem much easier (no, they're not) but you keep trying instead of giving up in the beginning. I also really enjoy the music and it definitely gives me a boost even in moments when I can barely breathe anymore. The aerobics classes I have attended have generally been divided in two parts - standing up and doing some cardio exercises and then laying down on a mat and working out different body muscles groups - abs, legs, upper body.
Zumba is also a lot of fun, although in my opinion it does not challenge your body as much as aerobics do. If you like the latino rhythms, and enjoy dancing this is definitely for you. You can easily combine having fun with toning up your body and exercising a little. Don't push your expectations, too high, though. If you want visible results, you shouldn't abandon the gym for good:)) So, have you ever visited such group classes and what was your favorite part? Please, write a comment:)))
Boxing is a pretty nice activity for man as well as women. As I am sure not a lot of dude would be OK to go to a Zumba class. Let's not forget that Arny took ballet classes to help with his posing.
ReplyDeleteThumbs up for boxing! The group at AUBG is great - I feel refilled with energy after every practice!
ReplyDeleteBesides group activities such as zumba and aerobics, I think sports themselves are great. I personally love swimming and playing volleyball.
ReplyDeleteI like Stanislav's point about boxing - I have always wanted to try and train it and probably now, it is the time to start :)
