This class will be offered 2 times per week for 5 weeks.  

On Tuesdays your classes will be low impact aerobic walk classes  conducted using the indoor walking techniques of 4 basic steps. if you can walk, you can do this! This way of walking for health and fitness allows participants to walk miles indoors in a fun, supportive, non-intimidating group setting. 

Each class features:

  • Walking - your brisk exercise (cardio, aerobics) 
  •  Resistance Band - provided for added firming (strength training, toning)

On Thursdays, you will BOOST your traditional walking workout with INTERVAL training.  You will walk a few minutes at a moderate pace, and then walk faster- a BOOSTED walk- for a few minutes - a great formula for weight loss walking! And we will still be using resistance bands!
