This builds muscular endurance, which helps maintain posture and form in your workouts as well as throughout everyday life. Good posture prevents injuries, unhealthy muscle tension, and other aches and pains. http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/15085_rss http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/15085_rss Thu, 29 Dec 2011 09:59:04 GMT I have been bad (not keeping up with my blog but I paid the price with Santa) and it is time to ‘throw away all my excuses” and get back to it.

A workout focused on this type of kettlebell exercise is like a very intense cardio interval workout with many additional benefits. http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/15081_rss http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/15081_rss Tue, 27 Dec 2011 10:49:48 GMT CORE STRENGTH Every kettlebell exercise demands activation of your core musculature. This includes your abdominals, hips, gluteals and back. Developing a strong and active core is critical in preventing injuries, ensuring the long-term health of your spine, and teaching your body to move more efficiently. http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/15080_rss http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/15080_rss Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:47:54 GMT Dear Area Fitness Members: Christmas/New Years Holiday hours are as follows: Hours of Operation December 25th – CLOSED December 26th – CLOSED January 1st, 2011 – CLOSED Classes that are cancelled: Spin – December 24th, 25th (5:30 and 6:30), and January 1st Yoga – December 26th Happy holidays and a happy New Year from the staff and management at Area Fitness! http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/14996_rss http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/14996_rss Tue, 13 Dec 2011 11:55:46 GMT Area Fitness will be offering Kettle bell classes every Thursday at noon starting January 19th. http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/14957_rss http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/14957_rss Thu, 10 Nov 2011 11:07:00 GMT Gift certificates are available for purchase at the front desk. http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/14488_rss http://www.areaonline.ca/blog/14488_rss
