Aerobics & Yoga Class Descriptions
Unless otherwise noted, classes are located in Windber Place on the 5th floor, next to Windber Hospice.
- Balance Basics – This class will teach strengthening and balance exercises utilizing proper progression and sequencing. The goal is to improve balance and stability, and prevent falls. Participants will also learn about all sensory systems essential for balance. Basic agility skills will also be incorporated.
- Body Blast – A total-body workout that combines low-impact cardio, strength training, and floor exercises for a balanced and energizing session.
- Build and Burn – A combination of muscle-building and fat-burning exercises designed to tone and strengthen the entire body. Class concludes with focused floor work for a complete workout.
- Circuit Fusion – A low-to-moderate intensity class blending cardio, strength, and core work. Utilizes a mix of equipment—stability balls, resistance bands, free weights, and kettlebells—for a dynamic and varied workout each session.
- Pilates – Strengthens muscles from head to toe with an emphasis on the core and back. Focuses on controlled movements, alignment, and breathing, ending with a deep, relaxing stretch.
- Progression and Power – This is a strength training class that will help you see the benefits of lifting weights. Each class will be different enough to keep you engaged, but will have enough of the same exercises to be able to track your progression. Don’t want to get big bulky muscles? Don’t worry – try the class!
