Which class?

Lifestyle Health & Fitness

So i have a free one year complimentry gym membership. I can attend any class that i want to and also use the sauna room, steam room.

I also work 2 full days and 2 half days. Half days are from 2pm to 5.30pm.

I want to attend 3 classes a week. I want to tone up my thighs, bottom and my stomach. I know thats the usual prob with any woman but i want to know which classes would be best for me. I want to start from the beginning of 12th of May inshallah as i will be on holiday before than.

Below is the list of classes they are offering - i am only going to list the ones that i can attend before work - for people who are in tune with their fitness regime and know their stuff, i would love to hear your input.

Ab attack - or spinning
Spinning - on mondays
Yoga - on sunday
Pilates - twice a week or i can do spinning
Circuit - only on fridays or i can do spinning

I am thinking spinning as that will tone up my legs and thighs and its going to be 3 times a week and if i feel like it, i might attend pilates on sunday evenings.

What do you guys think? Oh and could some one please tell me what does Ab attack and Circuit entails?

Re: Which class?

Since your aim seems to be to lose some weight, and to tone, the first thing that I would concentrate on is losing some weight and then toning becomes a lot easier.

So I would recommend going with spinning 3 times a week, initially and then after a few weeks cutting down on spinning and taking up any other activity that you want in addition to spinning.

Hey Sunset_Eyes,
I just replied to you as well... you know I agree with the poster about the body pump classes.I love them even more than the spinning classes. Both of them work well as a combo, your getting your cardio , and also getting toned in the body pump classes.
One thing I know for sure is that I wouldn't push myself as hard if I'm working out alone. Also , it depends on the instructors as well. Some might be able to motivate you much more than others.
you get as much out of it , as you put in.Like they say , the more you put into it the better the result. for example , you could pick up realllly light weights , or turn down the resistance on the bike, you might get through the classes , but you wont see any results. So you need to know that youre pushing yourself.
If you have a membership already , I would suggest you try out all the classes they're offering before you decide which ones to stick with.
Btw I also love pilates and yoga, so try them out as well if you can.
