Spinning
<\/strong><\/h5>\n

What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spinning is usually done in group classes held indoors, and of course, on a bicycle<\/strong>! For about an hour, you're pedalling to the sound electronic music while a coach gives instructions and cheers everyone on! \"Faster!\"\u00a0\"Slow down!\" It moves at a breakneck pace<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0The bikes simulate different road surfaces\u00a0: flat, downhill and uphill<\/strong>, all interspersed with sprints<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Who is it for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone can do it as long as you properly adjust your bicycle's resistance<\/strong> to your your calibre your performance level!\u00a0Your\u00a0first classes may be though, but\u00a0don't give up<\/strong>! It's all part of the challenge!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why it's a great workout? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Spinning classes are a great cardio workout! It also\u00a0strengthens your legs' muscles, while tonning\u00a0the buttocks, abs and abductor<\/strong>s. Got weaker knees? Don\u2019t worry, Spinning is a low-impact sport<\/strong> on the joints if you use the right posture (the coach will guide you). It's a really great workout for the heart and you\u2019ll be sweating like mad after one session!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t
Body Combat<\/strong><\/h5>\n

What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Body Combat is an\u00a0empowering cardio workout inspired by martial arts like karate, taekwondo, and tai chi. It combines a\u00a0series of movements with punches and kicks to very energetic music!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who is it for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be warned: this workout is for diehards<\/strong>! The challenge also comes with having to learn all the movements and sequences by heart.\u00a0That being said,\u00a0it's all a\u00a0matter\u00a0of\u00a0practice and habit!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luckily, some fitness centres\u00a0offer classes tailored to every level.\u00a0 It isn't suitable for people with heart issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why it's a great workout?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This intense workout makes you feel like a boxer. <\/strong>For 45-55 minutes, you get all of your stress and anxiety out as you jump around, throw punches and dodge through the air while facing off an imaginary opponent.\u00a0It engages the core and makes you workout your whole body, top to bottom!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
