In a previous post, I mentioned that I would be checking out some new spring classes that will be offered at my local Crunch Fitness.
I decided to try the Athlete's Workout class and I have to say that class was TOUGH. Buuuuuut, tough in a good way because I like to do more in my high intensity (HIIT) workouts. Plus, I like doing HIIT workouts because they add a little more excitement than the standard cardio and weight lifting exercise. The instructor, Leidy, has you constant moving, sweating, and try surpass mental blocks for 45 minutes. Plus, her music choices are very up tempo so your heart is going to be pumping hard to keep up with the musical beats. This total body workout was so intense that my butt, arms, shoulders, back, and chest are still burning today. The gym should defiantly extend this class for 15 minutes in order to have a nice hour fat-buring HIIT.
Here are some stats, according to my Fitbit Surge.
One cool thing about this class is that I rarely make it into my peak zone, unless I'm during sprints. According to Active.com heart rate calculator, 85% of my max heart rate is 157 beats per minute. So, next week I will try to spend more time in the peak and cardio zones. Usually, this is not a huge problem for me, but my back has been bugging me for the past couple of days.
That is it for me. I think The Acrobat's Workout will be the next new class that I will try out. Hopefully, I will not break my neck.
