Seven reasons why you should join in group training sessions
t’s been a busy week at East Coast Fitness because we have just opened the doors to our six-week Summer Shape Up programme and we’ve had a new influx of members.
They have all joined with the aim of improving their fitness, slimming down and feeling more body confident for the fast approaching summer.
I know they are all going to achieve great results because they are going to experience all of the benefits of group fitness:
Idig deeper and push harder in workouts.
The warm-up is designed to help you properly raise your heart rate while loosening your joints and muscles before the main activity. The trainer will coach you through each segment of the workout. The cool-down will help you safely lower your heart rate and stretch all the major muscles worked during class.
Every group fitness class offers something different, so it keeps your training exciting. It stops boredom setting in, which is very common for people who workout on their own at the gym.
Having a variety of classes in your weekly workout regimen is a great way to create muscle confusion, which keeps your body guessing and boosts your metabolism.
Having a set time for a workout holds you more accountable. If you know the class is 6:30-7:15pm you’ll be there on time so you don’t miss it. However, if you workout on your own without a set time, it’s really easy to make excuses and keep putting off.
Both your trainer and other members will support you throughout the workouts. This support group can be just what you need to power through your workout, push yourself a little bit further and reach your health and fitness goals.
There's really no other way to put it: group fitness classes are fun. Between the upbeat music, a great workout and a group of people motivating each other along the way, it's an enjoyable way to exercise. Group classes may be just what you need.
