Live, online, and locked down fitness classes for you to tackle with the pack or incognito at home. Ramp up your routine, your abs, and your happiness.
Mon 9th Nov – All About Abs & Core – 12:30 – 13:00
Live & Online
A quick beginner 30-minute fix focusing on the body’s stability
centre. Not only unmissable for those of us craving a 6-pack lockdown bod, but brill
for reducing lower back pain, improving your posture and stability, and your
ability to lift more. Core work will also make you a better athlete in whatever
sports float your boat. A strong core enables you to transfer more power to
your limbs so you can kick further, punch harder, and swing better. On a day to
day basis, core training will make you more stable in any position. Stand on
one leg, arms extended and keep it for 60 secs. If you can’t, get your ass to class
ASAP.
