Your Workout:
Everyone has different needs when it comes to a workout routine, but the core requirements for getting fit is to focus on building strength, stability, and flexibility.

With a few simple tools, and a commitment to a weekly routine, you will be fit and feel better than ever.

Below is a list of applications you can expect to perform

Body Ball, Balance and Stability Exercises
Stability ball exercises are designed to improve flexibility, balance, and coordination as well core strength. They’ll also help stabilize your spine to prevent injury to the lower back and hips.

Core Strength
The "core" refers to the region of the trunk that includes the abdomen, back, and hips. The core is considered the central stabilizing area for the rest of the body. It's important in producing forces and in transmitting forces. The core consists of the abdominal muscles, low back muscles, diaphragm, and pelvic floor muscles.

Elastic Resistance Training (ERT)
With a single piece of elastic resistance band, you can strengthen all the important muscle groups in the body and avoid the bulk and expense of bulk and expense of resistance-exercise machines. Another advantage is that there’s no time wasted setting up equipment or moving to different machines. Because of its versatility, portability, and affordability, ERT is ideal for anyone involved in an exercise program. In addition, elastic resistance enhances any type of training you are interested in, from strengthening to flexibility to speed and agility. Best of all, you can put elastic bands in your pocket or purse and take them anywhere!

Jump Rope
Did you know that a jump rope workout can burn up to 1000 calories per hour, making it one of the most efficient workouts possible? It tones muscles in the entire body, developing long, lean muscles in all major muscle groups, both upper and lower. A jump rope workout optimizes cardiovascular conditioning and maximizes athletic skills combining agility, coordination, timing, endurance.

Medicine Ball
The medicine ball is a multi-purpose training tool that can be used alone or with a partner for improving core strength, functional movement, muscle coordination, and reaction time as well as improving overall strength and flexibility.

Plyometrics
These types of exercises involve jumping movements. For example, skipping, bounding, jump rope, hopping, lunges, jump squats, and clap push-ups.
A plyometric exercise is an exercise in which an eccentric muscle contraction is quickly followed by a concentric muscle contraction. In other words, when a muscle is rapidly contracted and lengthened, and then immediately followed with a further contraction and shortening, this is a plyometric exercise. This process of contract-lengthen, contract-shorten is often referred to as the stretch - shortening cycle.

Strength Training
Strength training exercises are based on such common movements as lifting, pulling, pushing, and squatting. By adding resistance – in the form of weights or in some exercises, your own body weight – to these simple movements and repeating them a specific number of times, you overload your muscles. With regular practice, and by progressively increasing the resistance, muscles gradually adapt to each new load and become stronger.

Swimming Skills
Improve your confidence in the water.  Focus on basic strokes and breathing skills while improving endurance and power in the water.  Whether you’re a beginner, recreational, or tri-athlete swimmer, working on swim skills will enhance your overall performance.  Swim lessons are provided for ages two through adult.
