Having decided to knock running classes on the head, I though that I'd see what other classes are out there to try. This got me looking into some really odd, but fun sounding, classes. During the past decade, exercise classes for women have really changed. It's no longer just step aerobics, or legs, bums and tums. My local gym alone offers 47 classes per week, not to mention badminton, squash, swimming, and weights and cardio at the gym. Surely then, there's bound to be something else out there that's for me!
Some of the more unusual classes that I've seen are:
1. willPower and Grace... Shoeless conditioning classes for your feet! Apparently this will improve circulation to yours toes and mobility in your feet and ankles. Find out more at www.virginactive.co.uk
2. Get fit with Mel B... This isn't a celebrity fitness DVD, it's an actual class running at Fitness First gyms.. This is interval training with fat-burning, toning and weight loss in mind. It's a 45 minute class.
3. TRX Fitness... You're strapped up in a harness, suspended from various bars, and from various body parts. It's designed to improve your tone, control and core. This is another Virgin Active class.
4. Water Crew... This is spinning, but on a rowing machine! This is quite hardcore but you get amazing results; toned arms, a stronger back, and less of a muffin top. See the Water Crew site for more information.
5. Kranking... This is spinning for your arms. It is done on an "upturned bike", professionally know as a Krankcycle. You vary pedalling with one arm or both, and which direction, and this targets the arms, shoulders, back and chest. It also improves your core muscles. I must admit, I do enjoy using this piece of equipment at the gym to target my bingo wings, but I'm not sure how much I'd like to try a full class!
I'm going to try as much as possible, starting with Piloxing on Tuesday! I shall let you know how this endeavour goes!
