Fitness Class Description

ABS | MILITARY ONLY: This class will offer the ultimate abdominal workout. The instructor will lead individuals through 30 straight minutes of various abdominal exercises to target each and EVERY muscle group. The workout will include interchanging traditional and non-traditional exercises and will challenge every individual's fitness level, whether novice or advanced. Each individual can work at their own level by performing modifications of various exercises.  This workout is meant to be challenging, but ultimately rewarding as individuals' abdominal strength and endurance levels improve.

BOOT CAMP | Boot Camp is an ideal well-balanced workout routine that focuses on strengthening all muscle groups and improving your cardiovascular system. Discover how to unleash your strength, speed, endurance, agility and flexibility! Workouts will vary. All levels welcome.

CYCLE | Coaching and instruction guides students through a 45-minute cardio work out on a special type of stationary cycle. Each rider can work at their own level to meet their fitness goals and have fun. Routines are choreographed to music to motivate and focus students on a fun, flexible cardio work out. Class begins with a warm-up and upper body stretching on the bike. The core of the session is a cycle profile which simulates flat roads and hills to achieve your fitness objectives. Because of the format and flexibility of indoor cycling, participants with all levels of fitness will meet their goals. No one is ever left behind – it’s not about competition. Class ends with a specific cool down and stretching both on and off the bike. New students: Please arrive 15 minutes early for bike setup instruction. Bring a water bottle and towel. Wear comfortable shorts with long legs. Stiff-soled shoes work best (biking or cross trainers), but any shoe will suffice.

FITNESS ON REQUEST | Fitness On Request allows our facility to offer group X classes all day on our 135" projector screen, every day in a convenient and fun way.

STROLLER FITNESS CLASS | Workout with baby, melt fat and tone muscles with outdoor cardio and strength intervals designed by a mom, for moms.  This class provides an encouraging group atmosphere and thorough personal training.  Class meets rain or shine: Castle Park in the sun and the tennis bubble in the rain/cold.  All experience levels welcome.

TAE KWON DO | Tae kwon do is a dynamic martial art that trains the hands and feet to execute a variety of skills. Classes consist primarily of warm-up, technique drills/practice and stretching. All levels welcome. (The class will meet on Friday’s from 4-5 p.m. occasionally. It will focus on sparring or testing.)

WARRIOR TRAINING | Prepares all types of athletes for the unknown and the unknowable--Life and General Physical Preparedness, expert coaching through nutrition, metabolic conditioning, gymnastics and weight lifting.  Five day on-ramp (introductory course) required. See website for schedule and more details. www.hanscomwarriortraining.org

Workplace Exercises

Avoid the dreaded afternoon slump: Try a simple exercise you can do right at your desk!

desktop exercise

Desktop Push-ups

These pushups will work your chest & arms, and will increase your blood circulation, making you more alert and efficient while at work. The key to their success is slow movement.

1. Move your chair back from your desk. Place both feet firmly on the floor for support.

2. Place your hands on the edge of your desk, a little wider than shoulder distance apart.

3. Slowly (count to 4) lower your body down to the edge of your desk.

4. Slowly (count to 4) push your body back up into a sitting position.

Do 10-15 pushups.
