Spinning, Body Pump, Hip-Hop, Kick-Fit,
Yoga, Pilates, Boxercise, Yoga-fit, Line dancing ... there are so many
different types of exercise classes to choose from if you are
contemplating to start one.
How
do you know which type of exercise class suits you best? Well, it
depends on your exercise objectives, your interest and of course, your
initial level of fitness.
For beginners
If you have never exercised in your
life or if you have stopped exercising for a long time, and have a new
year resolution to start doing it, you might benefit more from a
beginner's class of line-dancing, low-impact aerobic workout,
aqua-aerobic or body conditioning class.
If you are not a great fan of
coordination, you might want to skip line dancing and go for a
low-impact aerobic or aqua-aerobic and body conditioning class. If you
do so, always remember that your priority is to sweat it out and burn
those calories. Hence it does not matter even if you cannot catch up
with the rest of the class - just move along and have fun. Forget those
arm movements if you cannot follow; concentrate on the legs first.
If you would like to burn some fats,
you might want to try low-impact aerobic or aqua-aerobic for a start.
Aqua-aerobic is especially beneficial to people rehabilitating from an
injury and for the elderly and overweight. Water cushions the impact
from the movements and provides an extra form of resistance to the
workout. Body conditioning (sometimes called New Body) class tones up
the flabs, helps strengthen your muscles but is not a class for burning
fats.
