Alternative Workouts

We all know maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important, and while all of us love burning calories every day, sometimes we need that extra push to get us going. Nowadays, alternative workouts have taken the place of the usual gym routine. This makes the decision to break a sweat a lot more appealing and fun.

Antigravity Yoga: This one-of-a-kind class blends music and circus acrobatics with classic yoga moves, incorporating a sturdy silk sling suspended from the ceiling. This is a great way to de-stress while working on your fitness. Every class features inversions, so that participants can enjoy a spinal decompression that helps strengthen the core, as well as relieve aching joints and stretch tight muscles. This fun class is made for any fitness level so that even if you've never done yoga before, you will have a blast.


Zumba: Have you ever walked by a gym class that looked different than your normal aerobics, but never had the guts to try it out? It was most likely Zumba. Combining elements from aerobics routines and rocking Latin music, the Zumba technique is the most innovative way to let loose and burn some calories. The moves and actions have more elements of dance, and can get anyone to stat moving.

Paddle-boarding: As Floridians, we are consistently looking for excuses to be closer to the water. Paddle-boarding is the perfect opportunity to learn something new and still get a good workout. Balancing on the board works your core muscles, and paddling hits every muscle from your arms to your abdominals to your back. The result is you enjoying the outdoors, and having fun while working towards your abs. Something you've always wanted!

The Bar Method: There are more than 65 Bar Method studios around the country, and now you can find them right here in Florida. It integrates the fat burning format of interval training, the muscle shaping technique of isometrics, the elongating principles of dance conditioning, and the science of physical therapy to create a new workout that reshapes your body. This format, incorporating the bar, produces both high caloric burn, and firmer muscle mass. It will knock your socks and fat off!
Cross Training: Flipping tires, climbing ropes, and doing countless push ups might not sound so fun, but when you do it in a high intensity group environment with a team of professionals, it will change how you look at your workout. It is a strength and conditioning program that offers a varied exercise regimen that consists of functional movements. You will find hundreds of thousands worldwide doing some type of Cross Training. From kids to Navy Seals to amateurs and professional athletes of all kinds, they are pushing themselves to their limits to become stronger, and much better conditioned individuals.
