Add some variety to your workout! YMCA High Intensity Interval Training offers an efficient workout for your entire body, keeping you sharp and motivated by changing the speed and frequency of your activity. The physical and mental benefits of exercise decline once the body adapts to the same old routine. Interval training is designed to keep changing things up, varying your heart rate and challenging your body to work differently. By preventing your body from settling into a routine, you are less likely to plateau physically and more likely to stay motivated. Interval training includes segments of cardio, muscle conditioning and flexibility exercises combined with brief periods of recovery. Agility, balance and coordination exercises may also be incorporated.
In this 50-minute class, exercises will be done using free weights, resistance tubing, equipment accessories and body weight to condition your total body! You will see improvements in your energy, strength, muscular endurance and body composition participating on a regular basis.
