So, if nothing more is standing in the way of you and your local fitness centre, maybe it's time to drop in. You'll find much more in store than just treadmills, bikes and dumbbells. Many gyms have revamped their studio classes in an effort to attract new clients and offer variety to existing members. Cardio kickboxing combines boxing punches and martial arts kicks. Unlike a lot of class formats, this one is a favorite of women and men.
Step continues to be among the most popular classes.
Stepping involves performing choreographed moves on and off a plastic bench. This exercise is a fabulous leg and buttocks toner. Participants use hand weights or giant elastic bands to tone their muscles. If weight rooms and nautilus machines intimidate you, you'll probably enjoy this format. Boot camp is another new format.
