ALL OVER BODY WORKOUT BSPT BOOTCAMP A workout combining a cardiovascular warm up and conditioning exercises to achieve all over results.
KETTLEBELLS
This is the original barbell class that strengthens your entire body. This class challenges all your major muscle groups by using the best weight room exercises like squats, presses, lifts and curls. Great music, awesome instructors and your own choice of weight inspire you to get the results you came for – and fast.
Kettlebells can be used in ballistic or swinging movements utilizing the whole body along with more traditional press and squat exercises. The displacement of the weight from the hand requires the stabalizing muscles to work. Kettlebell exercises are full body movements requiring all over body integration and core stabalization.

It is a full body workout using various forms of resistance and body weight exercises to create a challenging, fun and highly rewarding training session. An ideal class for those looking to lose body far, tone and improve conditioning levels. Everything else staying the same.
