A water bottle, supportive shoes, and exercise mat are recommended. During class, a heart rate check for six seconds will be taken. The GAFC Body Toning classes are designed to provide high intensity calisthenic exercises for all major muscle groups. The exercises are intense, often advanced in that they may not offer complete back support, but modifications are suggested for those in the program who prefer more supported exercises. Light weights are used in the classes to enhance the performance and results of the program.
Every muscle mentioned above is worked in each class.
Some exercises are performed lying down, some sitting, some standing, depending on the most effective way to work and strengthen a particular muscle. An exercise mat is highly recommended.
