Body Blast @ 6.30pm
Body Blast - A Full Body Explosive Workout!
Join Certified Personal Trainer, Natalie Holmes at 7.00pm every Wednesday for Body Blast – a one hour total body workout which involves a combination of high intensity, high exertion, short-duration exercises achieving a full-body workout guaranteed to burn fat and sculpt muscle.
The class focuses on functional movements that are designed to target fat loss and help to build and maintain lean muscle mass. This class is not for the faint hearted and is not suitable for beginners.
Functional training relates to movements that support a person’s ability to complete everyday activities; think squatting, lifting, pulling, pushing, jumping and twisting. No two workouts are the same. By varying the exercise type, the number of exercises, as well as the work time and rest time, each session promises to provide a challenging workout that constantly pushes your mind and body to the limit.
You will need dumbbells for this session as a bare minimum. If you have other equipment such as kettlebells that is great but not mandatory.
The benefits of this class are endless, starting with increased strength and stamina, improved body composition and mobility, and a growth in overall GRIT!

What will the class be like ?
Having your camera on during the class is preferred to ensure that I can help you with form where needed, however, I understand this can be quite scary for some, so, if you are completely adverse, you are of course welcome to keep it off.

Is Stretching Really Necessary ?
Stretching is often overlooked as an important part of a healthy lifestyle but a lot of general aches and pains are caused by muscle tightness which cause imbalances in the body.
Tight muscles can wreak havoc and are the one of the main culprits behind back pains and bad posture.
Whether you want to improve your body for everyday activity or you’re an experienced exerciser, flexibility and muscle balance is a vital component that can help reduce the likelihood of injury.
Whatever your health and fitness goals are, having a body that is free from muscle imbalances and able to move properly is fundamental to overall wellbeing.
