Though the freezing temperatures might lead you to believe otherwise, spring is here. As the days get longer, hemlines are getting shorter which can only mean that we need to step up our workout routine ASAP. Since hiding behind a down coat and bulky sweater is quickly becoming a non-option, we have done a little research on how to help fight the results of many months of pounding egg nog, green beer and whatever else has crossed our paths in these winter months.
Barre Bee Fit - "Your butt never looked so good" is a motto we can get behind. Barre Bee Fit is a 60 minute total body workout that utilizes a ballet barre and combines the most effective elements of pilates, dance and yoga with added cardio blasts to maximize body change through calorie burning. Doesn't sound sweaty enough for you? Well, the newly opened River North location (435 N. LaSalle) added a new class, Barre Bee Burn which offers the same workout, but in 90 degree heat.
Exhale Core Fusion Boot Camp - a welcome addition to Exhale's (945 North State Street) already stellar line-up of classes is Core Fusion boot camp. This new for spring addition is an intense cardio and strength training program that promises to give you the butt, arms, abs and thighs you never knew you had. Throughout the 60 minute class, the fast paced, dynamic sequences provide an intense calorie burn to help you shed those pesky lbs and work the most important muscle of all- your heart.
Gryotonic - Gyrotonics uses weights, pulleys, and cams to produce a wide range of rotational movements that strengthen the body’s core while improving the flexibility of the spine and joints. The unique yoga-based movements promote increased coordination, balance and strengthen your body without straining muscles and tendons.
