Class Spotlight: Body Toning

Body Toning should stand out for a number of good reasons:

1. It's the first strength-based class to be in the spotlight.
2. It's a little more high-paced, higher intensity than some other classes.
3. The class also builds flexibility, something that is not found in your everyday strength class.

Toning classes are strength classes designed to make you a stronger person, without building the bulk.  This strength class burns fat (especially around the core) and builds lean muscle in the upper and lower body.

Body Toning at The W does its best to hit all of the major muscle areas in a standard weight and strength class while offering a little more.  The class starts off with dynamic stretching and switches over to body weight exercises and calisthenics.  After the warm up, the class offers exercises to not only tone muscles, but to work the core and build flexibility and stability.  This is done by using dumbbells and yoga balls.  Finally, the class comes to an end with stretching and yoga, continuing to promote flexibility and stability in your workout.  To see the class, check out the video:

Like many of our other classes, Body Toning works well with all fitness levels by offering modifications to many of the exercises to increase or decrease difficulty.  It also compliments other classes by giving the strength training that you may not find in a cycling class.
