Why is a HIIT session perfect for your midday workout?
It’s all about efficiency. HIIT workouts provide similar fitness benefits as continuous endurance workouts, but in shorter periods of time. This is because HIIT workouts tend to burn more calories than traditional workouts, especially after the workout. The post-exercise period is called “EPOC”, which stands for excess postexercise oxygen consumption. This is generally about a 2-hour period after an exercise bout where the body is restoring itself to pre-exercise levels, and thus using more energy. Because of the vigorous contractile nature of HIIT workouts, the EPOC generally tends to be modestly greater, adding about 6 to 15% more calories to the overall workout energy expenditure.

Balance is not about standing still. Balance is about moving with confidence when conditions change. We utilize dynamic movements, grounding techniques and emphasize mindful practice to help you balance throughout the day.
In order to have better balance, you have to target and strengthen muscles in your hips, legs, feet and core.
Equipment will vary and all strategies and techniques are selected with performance and fun in mind.

Come challenge your body, balance and strength with the combo class of VIPR and Slastics. Like TRX but better, with a spring to the band, it makes life a little more exciting, each exercise a little unstable and full of bounce. The VIPR will be your friend or foe depending on how you want to use it. It can help with balance or be used as an added weight. Not to scare anyone off, everything can be modified and done at your own pace. It will be fun and different every-time. No 2 workouts are the same as we continue to challenge your various muscle groups.
