WHAT’S NEW AT FITHO– USE?
I am so excited to announce that we have rowers!!!! Why rowers??? Well as many of you know we are sticklers on good form and whole body fitness here at FitHouse. I love spinning but in our world of sitting behind a computer, in a car and on the couch for hours a day it is very easy to develop a rounded shoulder posture and a weak core which leads to a lot of postural imbalances and eventually pain and injury. Rowing is a NO IMPACT exercise that gives you an awesome burn while pretty much utilizing every muscle group in the body as well as strengthening the upper back! You can burn 500-600 calories in a 30 minute workout! Check out what some of the row pros have to say below!!!
We’re in a position where health and wellness advice is everywhere and there’s a place to exercise on every corner. The question isn’t whether or not to workout, it’s what to do. When you’re looking for something that’s high in intensity, but low in impact, rowing just wins — saving your joints and improving your posture, yet still working 85 percent of your muscles and getting that heart rate up? Yes please.
Every stroke requires you to work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, abs, obliques, pecs, biceps, triceps, deltoids, upper back, and lats. Each rep is essentially a leg press, a dead lift, and a row. And because you’re working every muscle group in your body, your heart rate is elevated.
We will be incorporating the rowers into some of our regular classes but to offer you more time on the rowers and a variety in your workouts we will be adding a variety of smaller group 30 minute rowing classes such as UPPER BODY RIPPED and ROW, LOWER BODY RIPPED AND ROW and CARDIO ROW.
PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK THE SCHEDULE THIS WEEK AND THE FOLLOWING WEEKS AS WE ADD THESE CLASSES
