What is a typical class?

Rise and Shine - The class opens with easy, flowing moves to warm and limber up the joints. These often have a tai chi feel.
Connect and Go - The movements get bigger and the heart rate faster as we introduce the VIVE ball to turn the focus towards the core. This is where we start to break a sweat and feel the challenge of the workout.
Dance Cardio - Use your VIVE ball as a partner, as you explore a variety of simple dance steps and rhythms. The moves promote good gait and hip mobility by shifting the body around to the music.
Interactive Cardio - Class members work together in pairs or larger groups in a fun track based on walking.
Fitness Cardio - Lift the heart rate again with big, simple, athletic moves, usually involving the VIVE ball.
Tai Chi and Yoga - Drop down a gear to work on mobility and flexibility with elements of these eastern disciplines. There is a big focus on deep breathing.
Balance and Leg Strength - Balancing your body – on one leg or two – trains the leg muscles and stabilizes the postural muscles that support great posture.
Functional Strength (1) - Use the VIVE tube to work and build strength in specific muscles.
Functional Strength (2) - Use the VIVE tube to work and build strength in specific muscles.
Ab Strengthener - Strengthen and tone the deep and superficial muscles of the abdomen with Pilates-based slow and controlled moves using the VIVE ball.
Back Care - A combination of strength and mobility work performed on the floor or all fours.
Release and Restore - Long-held stretches to unwind the body and complete the class.
