Junior Brooke Barney has gone to these fitness programs and said that there has been a great turnout for most of the classes. Enough people attended the abs class that they were forced to move from the racquetball court to a bigger space.
The abs class is one that does more than just work your abs. It incorporates the entire body, so that the entire core is strengthened.
“Kickboxing is very fun and energetic,” Barney said.
She also said that kickboxing involves a lot of jumping, so it makes people pretty tired. The toning class involves a lot of stretching, along with different body weight workouts, like squats and pushups.
“These workouts are a fun way to get in shape,” Barney said. “I would recommend these classes to anyone who wants to workout in a fun environment and meet new people!”
