Insanity Training on the Rise at Sweat Cardio and Yoga
Insanity Training is now at Sweat Cardio. If you aren't familiar with one of the hottest infomercials out there, it's Insanity Training. It is now at your local studio so you can train with friends and like minded people instead of in the privacy of your own home. Taking it to the gym gives you more motivation from others and the drive to push harder.
Insanity is a high intensity cardio workout using plyometrics, power, quick steps, body weight functional movements and abdominal exercises. The format is a combination of 4 minute high intensity bursts and 30 second short breaks till the next set. Repeat this format 3 times and you have an INSANE Insanity workout. It is hard work but shows quick results.
Sweat Cardio combines 30 minutes of Insanity Training with 30 minutes of sculpting to get a full hour of total body training. We offer it Mondays at 10a and soon to be adding more classes.

Barre Sculpt- Tightening Your Glutes
.jpg)
Barre Sculpt is one of the fastest growing fitness trends right now. Also known as Pure Barre, Ballet Barre, Ballet Fitness, Ballet Bar and other creative names. Essentially it is a class using the ballet bar and core strength to lengthen and strengthen your body. This class is firms your glutes and helps lift them back to your where they were in your teens. It can also increase your flexiblity by tightening the muscles then stretching it after. You do not need to be a ballerina or any type of dancer to take this class. Most exercises are designed to lengthen your muscles as well as tighten and tone. The exercises are performed with small movements or range of motion to feel a "burn" and are repeated multiple times. Many of the exercises are reflective of a mat pilates class and keeping the core tight with short breathes to get the maximum amount of force to the muscle. Although you may feel your heart rate increase at times, this is not a cardio class. It is a sculpting class. We have heard members say that they can start seeing results of a tighter core; glutes, abs, thighs, lower back, and even calves and arms within a few weeks. Sweat Cardio offers Barre Sculpt Mondays 11a, Wednesdays 4:30p and Saturdays 11:30a.
No shoes required. Some people will wear socks or toesox which are available to purchase at Sweat Cardio and Sweatcardio.com
For any further questions on Barre Sculpt please feel free to call 951-302-0088 or email us at info@sweatcardio.com

Yoga Can Clear Your Mind
"Yoga is a way to clear your mind and soul" as many people may say. It is a way to release stress and tension from your daily lives. It is a way to stretch your muscles and your mind outside of its daily routine to help release toxins built up in your body and mind. This may all sound so unreal, that a few positions you put your body in can do so much for you, but it is a fact. Yoga is an age old remedy for healing your body and mind.
A beginner or an advanced yoga person can feel the same or different affects of their experience. A beginner may feel the exterior affects of their movements. Meaning, they will feel the stretching, the relaxation or the invigoration of the practice. As you become more advanced in your yoga practice, you may feel a more overwhelming power of healing as you become more in tune with your body. Your breath will become more heated as you learn to breath deeper and engage more internal organs and feelings.
Yoga is a great way to clear your mind of all the daily hustle and bustle that is so saturated into our lives. Make your Yoga time, your time. Give that time to yourself and allow the experience of Yoga to heal you.
There are so many forms of yoga that one should be able to enjoy it. If you want a more relaxing, gentle yoga class try a Yin or Stretch Yoga. If you want a more invigorating and harder class, try a Power Yoga or Flow Yoga class. Hot Yoga or Bikram Yoga is another way to release more toxins and get deeper into the muscle. Hot Yoga comes in many forms as well. It is usually done in a room that is from 90 -105 degrees. Read the class descriptions before taking class. A good yoga instructor will teach at all levels so a beginner and an advanced Yogi could take the same class and still feel successful and come out feeling wonderful.

Strong is the New Skinny
Strong or fit is a term used for a leaner, more muscular body type. You don't have to be big and bulky to be strong. A strong heart, strong lungs and a strong muscular structure will support your metabolism and your organs for much longer.
A good goal is to be a healthy strong lean body instead of just "skinny".

Ballet Barre Sculpt is the Hottest Fitness Trend
Barre Sculpt is a total body workout that lifts your seat, tones your thighs and burns fat in record-breaking time! Utilizing the ballet barre to perform small isometric movements set to fantastic music! Barre is on of the fastest, most effective, yet safest way to change your body. We have heard students say they see results in less than 10 classes!
Barre is a combination of ballet isolated moves in a repetitive series. It gets into the deep muscle tissue to firm and tone. Most exercises focus on the core, which include the abdominals, glutes, hips, thighs (inner and outer) and lower back. There are classes that use small equipment as well such as mini balls seen in this picture, light weights and of course the ballet bar. Pilates based moves are used as well to isolate the abdominals and core. Yoga may also be incorporated into a Barre class for stretching, posture, and to lengthen the muscles.
Barre sculpt is for all fitness levels. There are modifications for each exercise.
It is done barefoot or with either ballet shoes or Toesox.
Toesox are a grippy sock that you can find at Sweat Cardio or online.
Mats and other equipment is provided for you, but you can bring your own if you prefer.
Barre Sculpt is a fun way to change up your workouts and get a great bum while you are at it!
Sweat Cardio offers Barre Sculpt Mondays at 11a with Kacy Hill, Wed. 4:30p with Yvonne Davis and Saturdays 11:30a with Yvonne Davis. For our full class schedule or to purchase toesox go to www.sweatcardio.com

Calories-Your best Friend or your worst enemy
I'll first start off by telling you that 3500 calories =one pound of fat gained or lost depending on whether it is consumed or burned. So if you burn 3500 calories, either by exercise or cutting calories and burning calories you will lose 1 pound. If you were to cut 200 calories from your diet and burn 300 calories a day exercising you will lose about 1 pound per week. On the other side, if you were to eat an extra 500 calories a day, you would gain a pound a week.
This should make sense. But it also matters how, when and what calories you are eating.
All so confusing??
Your body is a machine. It runs off calories like a car runs off gasoline. What you feed it and when matters too.
Feed it healthy nutritious energizing fuel and it will perform better. Feed it empty waistful non-nutritious calories and it will run slow and sluggish and other reprocussions may occur to your body, like putting the wrong fuel into your car.
Don't be afraid of calories. If you eat the right foods, such as fruits, vegetables, low glycemic carbohydrates, meats, nuts and legumes you will probably be eating the proper amount of calories. These foods eaten in moderation will be low calorie, fill you up properly and feed your brain so that you won't need the unnessasary calories that jack up your calorie count and make you feel unsatisfied and hungry.
Eat small meals throughout the day, preferably about 5-6x per day and your body will be a machine. Burning fat instead of muscle and you will have the energy to not just exercise more efficiently but you will be able to take on your daily tasks more efficiently. You will probably have more energy and get more done.
So in conclusion, your calories are important. Do NOT cut too many out, but Do NOT eat too many either. Get your calories from the right kind of foods and you will be a fat burning, energy driven machine.
If you have further questions about this matter please feel free to comment or send me an email at michelle@sweatcardio.com
Stay fit, Be well
