Overview
CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
A course that combines Pilates and Aerobics. Pilates as a workout that strengthens muscles, improves posture, balance and flexibility. Aerobics conditions the cardiovascular system. These two types of exercise are combined to work together toward a goal of overall fitness/health. Graded on a P/F basis.RATIONALE:
Pilates is a method of body conditioning that increases muscle flexibility and tone, joint range of motion, and targets the stabilizing muscles surrounding each joint. With a solid foundation in correct posture, Pilates is ideal for those who desire a firm yet flexible body. It is great for both under-toned individuals as well as highly trained athletes alike. Aerobics on the other hand improves the individual’s cardiovascular capacity, so if both methods were applied in a class the perfect workout would emerge.OBJECTIVES:
