You live a busy life! Between work, family, friends, and the rest of that long checklist of to-dos each day, it can be challenging to find time for yourself to exercise and still have fun. What if you could combine it into one? Today, we are talking about the top benefits of joining a group fitness class beyond exercise.
Benefits of Joining a Group Fitness Class
It is recommended that adults get a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, or 75 minutes of intense exercise, each week. By joining a group fitness class, you are reaping all the benefits, from weight loss to muscle toning to reducing your risk of heart disease. While the physical benefits of regular exercise are a top perk of joining a group fitness class, there is even more to gain.
1. Affordability
One of the top benefits of a group fitness class is affordability. You get the same guidance and structure of a personal training session with an expert but at a much lower cost.
2. Variety
Group fitness class introduces variety into your exercise routine rather than doing the same training at the gym week after week. Your instructor will offer new, exciting exercises to challenge you and keep exercising from getting stale.
3. Sociability
One of our favorite benefits of joining a group fitness class is the friendships that you make. Everyone in class is on the same journey, working towards a healthier, happier self. By joining a group fitness class, you are gaining a sweat family.
4. Accountability
Speaking of those new friends, they will become your accountability buddies. If you miss a class, they will notice. If you are feeling behind the curve, they will encourage you. If you are feeling competitive, they will work just as hard to keep you on your toes.
5. Confidence
Whether you feel you need to lose five pounds or fifty, a group fitness class will provide you with body benefits to increase your confidence. Not only will your look and feel better, but you will also achieve personal milestones that improve your mental and emotional health!
6. Fun
The journey to a healthy, fit, fabulous body is often daunting because people get psyched out by the hours of exercise waiting for them. It can lead to feelings of dread, especially if your exercise routine is boring. You don’t have to worry about that when joining a group fitness class. Group fitness classes are fun, fast-paced, and entertaining. The time will fly by, calories burning away before you even realize it!
