Why take part in classes?
Possibly the best thing about group exercise is the very fact it is led by a professional. Unlike going solo in the gym or at home, attending a class is the next best thing to having a personal trainer, making it a really affordable way to spend time with someone who can help you achieve your fitness and better body goals.
Not only that, it’s a lot of fun, with an added social element to keep you motivated to return week after week and remain active for longer.
Have you tried Zumba?
Not only are zumba classes fun and a social way of staying active, but you'll also burn up to 700 calories an hour. Give it a try and feel all the better for it.
