Hello friends! Today’s blog will be information about Newport Athletic and Fitness Academy, a division of Newport Arts and Athletics (NAA). Our
new fitness academy offers group fitness classes and NOW personal training for
all ages. Today’s blog will specifically cover some details about a few of the
group fitness classes that we offer. 1.
Zumba Fitness Classes- Zumba Fitness is a Latin-inspired
dance class. Cardio is emphasized through the infusion of dance styles such as:
Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Reggaeton, and MORE! Newport Athletic & Fitness Academy has
two licensed Zumba Fitness Instructors, Susan McMahan and Juliana Munsey. Both
teachers love what they do and enjoy sharing that passion for dance and fitness
with their students. Zumba Fitness classes are recommended for
ages 12 and older. All ability levels are welcome! Whether you’re a natural
dancer or a dancer at heart, you CAN participate in this class. A common misconception is that if one has
had no dance experience, they are not fit for this class. This could not be
further from the truth. As long as you can move, YOU CAN dance. You do not have
to match the instructor completely, and you shouldn’t. The instructor does this
for a living and is also the choreographer many times, so of course, he/she
should know the material and be good at leading it. Fellow classmates will be
on different levels. Regular attendees, of course, may know some of the routines
better, but you will as well the more you come! Don’t let the fear of being seen not
knowing what you’re doing stop you, because the truth is…everyone (including
the instructors) are concentrating on performing the steps, exercising, and
most importantly having FUN! All eyes will not be on you, and you will not be
singled out in class. So as soon as we post our schedule is
posted, see when you can join us and please do! 2.
High Intensity Interval Training
(HIIT)/Circuits- HIIT/Circuit classes are offered for students 12 and older.
Strength training, cardio, bodyweight exercises, and stretching are combined to
create a unique total body workout. In this unique class, exercises are first demonstrated
by the instructor for any new students or returning students who may need a
review or learning a new skill. Then, students perform exercises simultaneously
or in circuit rotations. The instructor will work out with you so that
demonstration is ongoing but may pause to assist/guide students in doing skills
correctly. He/she will advise you on modifications depending on your fitness
level. Each exercise is performed in 30-60 second
intervals. You do as much as you can physically do well in that time frame. We
then rotate to the next exercise. Sometimes exercises are repeated to target a
specific muscle. A HIIT/Circuit routine is great for the
individual who likes change because we never do the same workout twice. 3.
Stretch/Relaxation- A stretch/relaxation class
is a great way to unwind, relax/relieve tension in the muscles, and cool
down/rest muscles after an intense workout. Benefits of stretching include: ·
Injury prevention ·
Increased flexibility/range of motion ·
Prevention of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscles
Soreness) ·
Stress relief ·
Improvement of posture Our stretch class includes a warmup, deep breathing, Yoga, and
stretches that are beneficial to the athlete or average person. Many muscle injuries occur by simply reaching or turning the
wrong way. Increased/regular practice in flexibility/stretching could assist
you in having a better range of motion and make it easier to do everyday tasks. These are just a few of the class offerings at Newport Health and Fitness, a division
of Newport Arts and Athletics (also
known as Newport Dance & Cheer Academy). For more information on these
classes, please contact us at… Phone (423) 623-4113 Email Visit our website at www.newportdancecheeracademyinc.com Or check us out on Facebook Thank you for your time! |
