BootyBOX - Tone, Tighten & Burn

I do love Zumba but I got something new in store for you.  Get ready to sweat! This cardio boxing class is infused with ballet and Pilates moves to strengthen your core and boxing to burn fat and sculpt muscles. 
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A DANCER..... you will just get sculpted like one! We work on both the core strength and the superficial strength to create a really nice balance and a long, lean, chiseled body

BootyBox uses the principles of interval training – varying intense with moderate effort – to improve health most effectively. This class is for ALL LEVELS. Each section has multiple levels to vary intensity and accommodate different types of exercisers.

With this class you can wear shoes, or challenge your balance and stability by going barefoot. If you are really adventurous you can add in weighted gloves to add arm strength and maximize the cardiovascular health benefits.
 
One of the best benefits of Pilates is body awareness. It changes your shape in and out of the studio by retraining your muscles to support your body the way it should.   


The Workout: Considering that no dumbbells are involved, you’ll be surprised how sore your arms are the next day. And if they’re not? Add the half-pound weighted gloves for more of a challenge.
Your midsection should also feel tender, even though only a short segment at the end of class is done on a mat on the floor. Partly that’s due to the intensity of those moves, but it’s also because the class works your core constantly.


This class is an intense, calorie-burning aerobic workout program that blends the power, speed and agility of boxing with the grace, control, and flexibility of Pilates. This fat-torching, muscle sculpting, core-centric workout is guaranteed to whip you into shape!
The interval gym workout starts with standing Pilates, transitions to cardio-pumping boxing movements, and featuring various core and toning segments. The group class format includes a warm up, cool down, and floor work to target specific muscle groups such as your abs, hips and thighs.

It is estimated that this class burns between 500-900 calories per hour. However, accelerated calorie burn is not the only benefit. Attending regular classes can improve speed, flexibility, and stamina. It can boost energy levels, promote weight loss, dramatically tone the body and strengthen the core.

I have also added optional weight gloves which enhances the workout by toning the arms and maximizing cardiovascular movements. Each glove weighs ½ pound to make basic moves more challenging.

IF YOU ARE READY TO TONE TIGHTEN AND BURN then get to one of my classes at Xtreme Fitness in Kasson.
