If you feel like your exercise routine needs a facelift, it might be time to leave your comfort zone and try something new.
Here’s our top 3 fun fitness activities to try this week
Join a group class
Where: FitBlock on Main, Bryanston
What to expect: FitBlock is focused on high intensity interval training (HIIT) which will not only improve your fitness levels, it will also help you lose weight and tone your body. Classes are guided by qualified trainers and focus on block workout stations that target every muscle group in one class. You can burn up to 400 calories during a class.
Don’t like HIIT? They also have Barre classes. This form of exercise incorporates the flexibility and posture of ballet, dance and yoga. Yes, you will still tone your body as Pilates and light weights are also incorporated into the class.
