NEW! Circuit Training and Conditioning Classes - Starting September 16th.

I'm so excited to say that I am setting up fitness classes in Cloyne, Co. Cork! I am a qualified instructor and taught fitness classes before I started having kids. I am now ready to start teaching again. I want to share my passion of fitness with others, and hopefully help all my clients get to the goals they dream of, be it weight loss, fitness or other.

The class I will be teaching is Circuit Training and Conditioning.

What is Circuit Training?

Circuit training is a form of body conditioning or resistance training using high intensity aerobics, and muscular endurance. It is a form of interval training whereby you do a set of exercises with very little rest in between. These exercises are a mix of aerobic and resistance training. It is a fantastic way to get fit fast and tone up. Stations are set up around the room and you do a different exercise at each station for a set period of time. You might go around the same set of exercises 2 or 3 times, depending on time limits.

Here are some more benefits of circuit training:

• It challenges your whole body, because you are doing a variety of exercises, all your muscle groups are targeted.     
• You get to mix cardio and strength training. It beats the boredom factor, circuit training offers the best of both worlds by allowing you to combine intervals of high intensity cardio with resistance training.  
• It sends your metabolism soaring! When you are circuit training, you are working as hard as you can at each station for anything from 30 seconds upwards. This type of training (HIIT), has been proven to burn more calories even after you have stopped exercising, compared to exercises you are doing at a steady state.   
• Each station can be adapted to your abilities. Each exercise can be made easier or more difficult, depending on your abilities or your energy at the time of workout!

Not only will I be teaching circuit training, in the same class I will also be teaching toning exercises for all the main muscles, e.g. gluts, abs, thighs, lats etc. Also I will be doing some Tabata work, other types of HIIT workouts, and we will even play some games! 

There will be plenty of variety in my classes, with a different workout planned for every week.

So anyone in the East Cork area, come along and join my classses!

Every Tuesday from 7pm - 8pm in the new Cloyne GAA Gym, starting Sept 16th 2014.
