Exercise classes...need suggestions :)

  • Hi! I have mentioned in posts before that I'm not a huge fan of conventional exercise. I have seen in a few posts different exercise classes that people have tried that I have never even heard of. I was wondering if people could give me suggestions on things to try as an absolute beginner. I've never done any type of class before, so I would love to try something new and see if I really enjoy it. I'm thinking about trying a Trampoline class or maybe yoga? I know nothing about any of these classes, so if anyone has advice I would love it!!
  • I don't know about where you live, but here we have leisure centers throughout the city that offer all sorts of beginner classes. Aqua boxing, Aqua Zumba, Beginner yoga etc. I would start by checking out what kind of leisure centers you have in your area and what they have to offer. Some may even let you try a class for free! Any class that will let you drop in could be a good way to start too, that way you get to try a little bit of everything without having to commit. Good luck
  • My best advice is to just try it out yourself... What one person will love, another will hate... Try it once, then decide...

    We have a Group Power class at our gym that I and wouldn`t miss for the world...
  • I would say try out a class or two as well. I did $5 a class Zumba up to 5 times a week in January and February before I joined the YMCA. Now, I'm taking a bunch of different classes and love the variety. I love classes. I had never taken one till January though. I'm not even an outgoing confident type person either. Also, I'm quite uncoordinated I like to be in the back row next to a wall...

    Edited to say that I started Zumba as a beginner. I used to be in shape but hadn't been for quite some time. I was sore for a while but eventually not so much. q
  • I am a big fan of classes, they really motivate me.

    I like all the Les Mills classes I've tried, Body Pump, Body Step, and Sh'Bam in particular.

    I also like to do Zumba, Cardio Hip Hop, and Cardio Funk.
