Core n' More

Target core muscles, with this short but intense workout. Following an interval style format, Core n’ More will focus on toning the full range of abdominal muscles and obliques. 

HIIT

High intensity interval training, commonly referred to as HIIT, has you alternate between high and low intensity exercise(s) or between a high intensity exercise and a short period of rest. For instance, doing an all-out sprint for 15 seconds and then taking a 30 second rest would be considered interval training. HIIT is a great way to incorporate quick cardiovascular training and improve muscle strength at the same time. This class is a time efficient workout to really get you sweating in no time! It is a great way to burn calories and is different from many of the classes we offer here at Viterbo!

Pilates

Pilates is a system of muscular strength and flexibility conditioning. This class will challenge the spine in flexion, extension, and (especially) in the neutral position, adding arm and leg movements to help overload the core muscles as well as stimulate improvements.

POWER Yoga

POWER Yoga will take yoga a step beyond the basics. Participants will follow a vinyasa flow while learning to incorporate breath with movement and sprinkling in some advanced poses such as presses, headstands, and shoulder stands.  All are welcome to join this POWER Yoga class.

Slow Flow Yoga

Had a tough day? This class is the ultimate relaxation. You’ll flow from one pose to another, but hold the poses for an extended period and find your own comfort zone within the pose.

Stretch

Don’t forget to STRETCH! Flexibility and range of motion are important as we age. This group fitness class aims to get you relaxed and recovered through a combination of stretching techniques. If you are sore or just looking for a little bit of a study break join us for a calm, cool, and collective class!”
