Low impact options for strength and endurance

Wondering what the benefits are for low impact strength and endurance training? Low impact exercise categorises a range of activities that put less stress on joints and connective tissue.

These activities will offer more support to your body as you train, and you might choose them if you are looking to see results while being in an environment that is very low risk for causing any injuries.

Low impact classes include Aqua Fit in the pool or Studio Cycle.

Aqua Fit has you floating in water which helps reduce impact on your joints during exercise and provides you with the fun of a sociable workout.

If you’d prefer to skip the swimming then studio cycle is ideal for those who enjoy being on the bike already as well as anyone new to cycling, plus it helps you to build strength and endurance while keeping your body stable on the exercise bike. Learn about the top 5 mental & physical health benefits of studio cycle classes .

How can I improve my cardiovascular endurance?

Cardiovascular endurance is vital for long-term health and relates to the health of your heart, lungs, and circulatory system. To help support these systems, you need to do regular exercise that gets your heart pumping, so turn up the intensity just a little and why not try HIIT Express, Metcon (metabolic conditioning) Circuits or our Legs, Bums & Tums workout.

What classes are good for endurance training?

Perhaps you’ve already tried strength and endurance training before and are ready to take on a new challenge, or maybe you’re new and looking for what’s trending! If you’re asking yourself what is the most popular exercise class right now, you should try out trending classes like Hyrox (a mixture of running and functional workouts), or boxercise. What’s even better? Both of these classes are available right here! A bonus is that these activities are ideal for all experience levels, so come along and enjoy the welcoming and supportive environment of these classes.
