Group fitness

At LivingWell we run a variety of group fitness classes, including Step, Aqua, Body Conditioning and Circuit Training, all with the same goals in mind:

To improve fitness by strengthening heart and lungs
To tone and strengthen muscles
To burn calories and fat

Classes which include weight bearing exercises will help increase bone density and therefore, especially in females, help delay the onset of osteoporosis.

Aqua aerobics is an excellent form of weight bearing exercise, which means that the water supports the body, decreasing the stress on weight bearing joints. Water based activities are beneficial for pregnant women, older adults and for rehabilitation from sporting injuries or operations.
