An interval type of physical training that involves high intensity exercise alternated with rest periods is highly effective in conditioning the cardiovascular system while increasing muscle strength. Active rest between high intensity work allows the heart rate to drop, giving the participant the opportunity to recover before the next high intensity interval. These types of workouts can include a mix of cardio exercises with resistance training.

Strength and balance is important in everyday life and this class will help you improve your ability to feel strong and stable. Strength exercises may include lifting hand-held weights, stretching resistive tubing and using your own body’s resistance while also using your core muscles to improve balance and stability.

Cardiovascular fitness is an important factor in overall health. Regular cardio exercise as part of your fitness routine can help you increase energy levels, battle disease and sleep better. It can also help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight when combined with a balanced nutrition plan. The key factor in a cardio class or workout is increasing your heart rate up. Exercises may include power walking, jogging, running, bike riding, or a variety of low- and high-impact movements that will raise your heart rate and work up a sweat.

The SilverSneakers Circuit workout offers standing, low-impact choreography alternated with standing upper-body strength work with hand-held weights, elastic tubing with handles and a SilverSneakers ball. A chair is available for standing support.
