What is the course about?
This course will help you to increase your fitness levels to give you greater stamina for engaging with physical activities. Toning exercises adopt a total body approach to strengthening the body. Each lesson begins with a gentle fifteen-minute cardio-vascular warm up to mobilise and prepare the body. Exercises are performed in standing and lying on the mat. Hand weights and resistance bands can be used as options to increase the effectiveness of training. A relaxing cool down segment at the end of the class stretches and releases muscles and joints.
