Group Fitness
Group fitness provides dieters with a variety of weight loss benefits, as classes are designed to cater to specific weight loss goals and needs. In addition, most dieters report feelings of increased motivation and success when working out with groups and/or group fitness classes.
Group Fitness Classes
While group fitness classes and offerings vary based on each facility and instructor, each class type generally follows similar and common principals and techniques.
Cardio Group Fitness
Cardio classes are comprehensive fitness venues for individuals to work on cardiovascular strength and endurance, while also improving overall muscle tone and strength. These classes may involve routine steps, which are taught by the instructor, while they may also incorporate the usage of various fitness tools, such as weights, mats, and steps.
Yoga Group Fitness
Yoga classes are designed to provide dieters with various benefits, including:
- Increased lubrication of joints, tendons, and ligaments
- Increased flexibility
- Increased strength
- Increased focus and motivation
- Increased feelings of de-stress and relaxation
- Detoxification of the body
Yoga involves the holding and maintaining of various poses for periods of set time, as explained and directed by an instructor. Yoga also helps individuals focus on deep breathing exercises, which helps oxygenate the body while increasing dieters’ ability to focus.
Pilates
Semi-similar to Yoga, Pilates group fitness classes teach individuals how to utilize deep-breathing exercises while holding various poses. Pilates also often includes the implementation of added exercise tools, such as a ball, a Pilates bar, or other forms of equipment. Adding to this, many individuals often prefer the semi-faster paced “flow” of a Pilates class, as a Yoga class often much more quiet, reflective, and slower paced. Despite the differences in the group fitness pace, both Yoga and Pilates provide dieters with various cardiovascular, muscular, and mental benefits.
Zumba
Zumba is one of the latest group fitness crazes, as it is a fun and interactive opportunity for dieters to lose weight while dancing to Latin-based rhythms and beats. Zumba is essentially a cardio-based dance class that helps individuals to effectively burn calories, while also boosting one’s endurance and muscle tone. During a typical Zumba class, the instructor will gradually and slowly teach the dieters the different elements of specific dance steps and routines. As the class progresses, even inexperienced dancers should be able to easily follow the movements that are taught by the instructor.
Water Aerobics
Group aqua-based classes provide dieters with the added resistance of water in order to help increase muscle tone and weight loss. Water aerobics classes usually include a series of resistance movements to exercise and stimulate various regions, such as the legs, arms, and core areas. In addition, individuals who struggle with specific pain issues, or who experience discomfort when working out, may greatly benefit from water aerobics classes, as the water does not force the body to absorb painful and potentially harmful impacts from working out on land or ground.
Now go out, join a group and get fit and healthy!
Leave a comment with your thoughts! I would love to hear them.

Diet Restrictions to Promote Weight Loss
When striving to lose weight, there are a variety of dietary plans that often helps individuals achieve efficient and safe weight loss success. Many of the popular dietary plans often require individuals to restrict their calorie consumption or food choices.
Calorie Restriction Diets
Reducing one’s caloric intake is one of the most commonly practiced methods for weight loss. Essentially, by counting and restricting calories, a dieter is able to clearly monitor how much is needed to successfully lose weight. To follow a calorie counting diet, dieters essentially must engage in the following steps:
- Step 1: Calculate your BMR. The BMR stands for the body’s Basal Metabolic Rate. The BMR will inform an individual how many calories you burn during your daily activities and regimens.
- Step 2: Once you are aware of your BMR, you should strive to eat fewer calories than your BMR. For example, if a dieter’s BMR is 1500, then he or she should strive to eat less than 1500 calories each day. By eating fewer calories, the body begins to burn off extra body fat in order to receive enough energy to function throughout the day.
- Step 3: While counting calories, dieters can also add exercise to increase and expedite weight loss. For example, with a BMR of 1500, and a dietary caloric consumption of only 1200, the body has burned 300 calories in a day. By adding exercise, however, the body burns more! For example, if the dieter engages in a 30 minute jog, and burns approximately 350 calories, then the total daily loss of calories equals 630.
- Step 4: To lose one pound of body fat, dieters must burn off 3500 calories. By monitoring calorie intake and consumption, dieters can effectively and strategically lose weight.
No Carb and Low Carb Restriction Diets
As dieters are often seeking fast and efficient weight loss methods, no carb and low carb diets have become a popular weight loss method for dieters around the world. One of the most famous no carb diets is the Atkins Diet, which was developed over 30 years ago.
According to reports, the Atkins Diet provides individuals with quick and efficient weight loss; however, some dietitians argue that a no carb diet deprives the body from receiving essential nutrients and vitamins, which can be received from natural carb-based foods, such as fruit and vegetables.
How Does Carb Restriction Work?
According to information from the Atkins Diet, a no carb diet promotes weight loss for a variety of reasons:
- As carbohydrates are processed by the body, they turn into sugars.
- Once turned into sugars, carbs are stored as fat, which leads to weight gain.
- By cutting carbs out of one’s diet, you are effectively avoiding added sugar and fat storage by the body, while also stabilizing the body’s blood sugar and energy levels.
- Instead of carbs, no-carb dieters increase their intake of high-protein foods, such as meat, eggs, and fish.
In the end, the best way to lose weight is to balance your eating and exercise. Cutting out fatty foods or high-calorie snacks can reduce your daily calorie intake, but you should compliment your dieting with exercise to rev up your metabolism – helping you shed those pounds even faster.
