WREC Fit Class

Tonight I went to WREC Fit at the Chico State gym. I was not sure what to expect because we were asked to get out a step, four risers, a medicine ball, gliders, and a weight bar. We started off with a "warm up" which had me sweating within 3 minutes. We were stepping up and down, running, doing jumping jacks and "push"jacks, etc. Then the instructor had us doing squats and lunges with the weighted bar on our shoulders. When we were finished with the weighted bars, we had to put the gliders under our feet and do lunges and side steps.

We also did some plyo-metrics with high knee jumps and jumps where we have to touch the floor and then jump as high as we can. We also did a sort of circuit training where each row had to do something different, for example one group was running laps as another group was doing push ups!

Finally....we made it to the medicine ball, which I thought was going to be my break. The ball I had was one of the smaller ones, but my arms still hurt by the end. She had us hold the ball straight in front of us and do circles, in both directions. Then, we had to hold the ball in front of us, do a squat and throw the ball up in the air. When the ball came down, we did another squat and repeated. My arms were definitely burning!

To finish the class off, we did some ab work. I have to admit, by the time I was exhausted, so my ab work wasn't great.

This WREC Fit class included a lot of cardio, alongside toning, and weight lifting. This was an overall good class for everything that I need, oh and not too mention... it kicked my ass!
