BENEFITS OF GROUP FITNESS<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re intimidated, overwhelmed or frustrated in a group exercise class, should you give up and opt for the elliptical machine instead? \u00a0Absolutely not!<\/p>\n

In many of these instances, I will take some time to become accustomed to the class styles, formats and instructors before I wave the white flag. \u00a0Try to remember that most everyone else in the class is probably a regular, which means they already know the flow of the class and have learned the \u201cstandards\u201d used by the instructor.<\/p>\n

I like to follow the \u201cThree Strike\u201d rule when faced with a challenge like this. \u00a0Give yourself at least three complete classes before moving on and deciding that kickboxing, spin or step is not for you. \u00a0Keep in mind, also, that personality plays a huge role in a class. \u00a0If the instructor isn\u2019t speaking your language on cues or motivation, then simply take action and find one that does!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
