Are your days full? Don't wanna get up really early? Want to do something for YOU? Fitness seems to be what will work? Then our Strong30® class is for you. Yes, 30 minutes of HITT (high-intensity tempo training). No dancing...

Join the ever-growing movement of high-intensity workouts. High-Intensity is not going away. Research has proven this to be an optimal way to move your body for the fastest results.

The difference between Strong30® and other high-intensity workouts, is that this workout uses the TEMPO of the music to get your body into high gear. With OPTIONS, of course! That means anyone can do this in a safe manner. With the focus on you and your body’s energetics, everyone in the room will be focusing on their own body!

Strong30® is a High-Intensity-Tempo-Training—HITT workout.—NOT a dance fitness class.

And the music makes it so much fun! So if you love moving to music, then this workout is for you. If you love shorter workouts, then you owe it to YOU to check out if Strong30® is for you. There is NO dancing!

Benefits of Strong30®

Build endurance & stamina

  • Why would endurance and stamina help you? You gain the ability to be more active. With more activity in your daily life, you can lose excess body fat, increase the health of your heart, have more fun, do more things, and feel so good! Your health is not something to take lightly. Wouldn't it feel good to climb stairs without getting winded?
  • Endurance is the ability of the muscles to continue weight-bearing movement for extended periods of time
  • Stamina is the ability of the heart to keep up with your workout intensity 

Why Would You Want This?

  • Endurance and stamina in your muscles will give you toned and sculpted muscles. They will also make your muscles stronger. You will be able to do so much more physical activity all day long. If you like to have fun just doing physical stuff, like shopping (requires lots of walking, carrying of loads, moving your body in differing positions to try on clothes, reaching up for stuff on shelves, etc), or going for a simple, beautiful walk down West Cliff, and not getting winded every time you do something—then getting fit is for you.
  • If you have to climb stairs daily, if you like to play with your kids, if you love doing things outdoors including gardening, if you have to walk a distance to your work or your car, you’d love to go out dancing, or if you just like to shop for extended periods of time, then having good endurance in your muscles and strong stamina will make all these activities so much easier and fun to do.
  • By working in an aerobic capacity, you will be strengthening your heart. You will make your blood flow to your brain, and your body will be removing toxins through sweat, and other functions of detoxification. (Staying properly hydrated by drinking plenty of water will also help to detoxify your body for increased health.)
  • Having strong stamina and endurance will get you through each day with much more energy, and you’ll gradually be able to intensify your workouts for faster results

Elevate heart rate/lung capacity

  • Elevating heart rate during aerobic activity will increase the strength of your heart. After all, it is a muscle! It needs working out too. This means you will have more energy throughout your day, whether your workouts are in the morning or evening.
  • As you are able to breath in more air (lung capacity increases), you will be able to add more intensity to your workouts. More intensity means more calorie burn.
  • If weight loss is one of your goals, you want to be able to increase your intensity as you continue with your workouts. Over time, you will be burning many more calories
  • A strong healthy heart makes you feel energized! Don’t we all want to have the energy we had as young kids? Children move their bodies all the time. You too can regain some of that energy. Moving your body more intensely, and regularly, will begin the process of energizing

Burning calories isn't all there is...

  • Burning calories is the 'old school' way of thinking about how hard your body is working (which would mean 'weight loss' for many people). The number of calories you burn in one workout will only apply to how intensely you are working out in that moment. Once your body cools down, you stop 'burning' calories. These are known as 'cardio' workouts. They are not 'bad' workouts. They do work your heart at an elevated level.

    The problem is the heart gets used to this. Then changes stop happening. Studies have shown that too much cardio is not good for the long term.

    With high intensity work, your body continues to burn energy throughout the next 24 hours (maybe even up to 36 hours, depending on how intensely your muscles worked). That means greater weight loss and stronger muscles!

  • If your concern is losing body fat, then you will want your body to move in ways that will optimize how you burn fat. Age, metabolism, hormonal changes, and body-familiarity will all make a difference in how your body burns energy.

  • Elevated heart rate workouts are called 'cardio.' Feeling your muscles burn with short bursts of energy are called high-intensity. There is more to it, but this is it in a nutshell. Definitely look towards high-intensity workouts if one of your goals is fat loss.
