New Fitness Class Offering

Picture your muscles as a shoelace, now picture a knot in that shoelace. What happens when you pull on the shoelace? The knot gets tighter, right. This is exactly what happens when you stretch a muscle with a knot in it. So you need to do something to untie the knot.

Foam Rolling is the solution to untying the knot. Foam Rolling has been nicknamed the "poor man's massage" because for $30 you have the ability to get the same benefits as a daily massage. Yes, a real massage from a massage therapist is better, but most people don't have the financial means to afford this person each day. So the foam roller is the next best thing.

Because of this need to untie knots in our body we will be offering a new class "Recovery & Regeneration". This class will focus on foam rolling the body, stretches to improve flexibility, and active mobility exercises to improve joint range of motion. Think yoga on steroids. We've designed this class to complement your other workouts and to help make your body more resistant to injury.

"Recovery & Regeneration" will be offered Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. and Saturday mornings at 10:30 a.m. and is included with your Defined Fitness Membership.

Preview "Recovery & Regeneration" tonight at 7 p.m. Hope to see you there!

Live Fit,

Josh
