5 Fun Classes to Get You Fit

By Brandi Goodman 

Working out at home may save you time, but it doesn't always provide the motivation you need to make it a habit. A fitness class is a great option because it gets you up and out of  the house and also able to socialize with others. You're more likely to stay motivated when there are others there also trying to meet their fitness goals. Choose from one of these five fun classes to get you fit. 

Aqua Fit

The point of a water aerobics class is to tone your body without impacting your joints. Water is much easier on your body than land. If you suffer from joint problems or you simply enjoy being in the water, then an aqua class may be best for you. 

Step

A class that has you stepping left and right, up and down, on and off a step platform can really get your heart rate going. You'll be burning calories and getting a great lower body workout at the same time. Try a step class with a soundtrack that will have you feeling pumped. 

Zumba

Dancing is a fun option that will help you break a sweat in no time. Zumba is a fitness opportunity unlike any other. You and the other participants will be dancing to fast-paced tunes and learning new moves that will get your body in shape. 

Kickboxing

Kick, punch, step, and move in a kickboxing class that burns calories and tones your muscles. You can get out your aggression as you learn the fighting moves. It's a high-energy cardio class. You'll learn different forms of martial arts and incorporate drills and core strengthening exercises for a full-body workout. 

Indoor Cycling

Ride 'til you can't no more at an indoor cycling class. It's a great cardiovascular fitness option that will have your heart rate up and your legs working. You'll be able to quickly sculpt and tone your lower body with this class. Some gyms even offer a MyRide experience that simulates different terrain types and atmospheres that will have you feeling like you're outdoors.
