Slow Burn

Slow down and feel the burn in this class designed to set your glutes on fire. Ignite your workout by using wide bands to tone, shape and sculpt your lower body and core. This workout delivers a one-two punch by using tempo variations and band variations to intensify each work effort.  

Why Try Slow Burn?  

The slower the better! Add a sizzle to your workout with large flat resistance bands to sculpt and define your lower body and core. Sizzle with faster pace exercise and scorch with super slow burners for the ultimate in glute, legs and core training. That’s hot! 

What Is Slow Burn Like? 

Slow Burn utilizes distinct tempo changes to challenge your lower body and add a “sizzle” to your workout. Utilizing large flat bands, this workout focuses on the core and lower body. Alternate sizzle and scorch work efforts to challenge your glutes, hamstrings and quads in this 30-minute express workout. Sizzle work is done at a quicker pace and the scorch work effort is super slow to bring on the burn.  

Who Are Slow Burn Classes Best For? 

Both beginners and experienced gymgoers will thrive with simple exercises using one tool, the fabric exercise band to provide resistance. Access beast mode quickly as you realize these bands mean business! Experience quick muscle fatigue to challenge even the seasoned fitness pro. All levels welcome in Slow Burn. 

Is Slow Burn a Good Workout? 

Slow Burn will ignite your muscles and improve body composition safely and effectively using the flat fabric resistance bands. You can expect: 

• Lower Body Strength. Bands emphasize a different phase of work, at the end of the arc of movement (where the band is most taut), rather than free weights, which emphasize the beginning of the arc of movement. 

• Core Strength. Single leg exercises encourage the muscles of the core to activate, strengthening and developing balance. 

• Mobility. By recruiting smaller stabilizing muscles during exercises like hip abduction, the body gains more hip mobility, resulting in lower injury. 

• Improved Body Composition. Muscle mass requires more calories to sustain, which burns more fat, resulting in a leaner appearance. 

• Safety. By using flat resistance bands rather than hand weights, participants have a lower risk of dropping heavy weights or overexerting by choosing a weight that is too heavy for them. 

How Difficult is Slow Burn? 

5/10 . Fire it up! All fitness levels welcome. Simple to follow exercises using only bodyweight and the fabric elastic resistance band yields muscle fireworks for all levels of fitness.  

How Long Is Each Class? 

Slow Burn is a 30-minute nonstop fitness bonfire of lower body strength with core training. 

What Should I Wear? 

Come ready to play. Typically, people wear sweat wicking clothing that will offer ample coverage and will stay put and allow you to move with ease throughout the range of motion of exercises.  

Cross training Gym Shoes.  Comfortable shoes that offer support and stability as you move and balance during class.   

What do I need to Bring? 

Hydrate, my friend! Make sure you have plenty of water with you.  Also, pop a towel in your gym bag to catch your sweat, as you will be dripping and glistening. Most importantly, bring a great attitude and smile to share.
