ZUMBA Toning 3

     When it comes to body sculpting, Zumba Toning raises the bar (or rather, the toning stick). It combines targeted body-sculpting exercises and high-energy cardio work with Latin-infused Zumba moves to create a calorie-torching, strength-training dance fitness party. Students learn how to use lightweight, maraca-like toning sticks to enhance rhythm and tone all their target zones, including arms, abs, glutes and thighs. Zumba Toning is the perfect way for enthusiasts to sculpt their bodies naturally while having a total blast.

***Students must purchase toning sticks prior to beginning for use during class***

***Toning sticks can be purchased from Adriana at a discount ($25 to DCH at registration) or on your own at Zumba.com***

Pilates 3

     Pilates is a body-conditioning routine that seeks to build flexibility, strength, endurance and coordination without adding muscle bulk. Pilates improves mental and physical well-being through controlled movements done as mat exercises or with equipment to tone and strengthen the body. In addition, Pilates increases circulation and helps to sculpt the body and strengthen the body's core. People who do Pilates regularly feel that they have better posture, are less prone to injury and experience better overall health.

***Please bring an exercise mat with you to class***
