This Pilates-infused kickboxing class ends with a yoga-based cool down. All three exercise modalities are unique in and of themselves, but they have a major component in common — they all build core strength! Pilates actively targets and tones core muscles. Kickboxing builds speed and agility while using the body’s core-stabilizing muscles to ground you as you move quickly about. Yoga lengthens and leans the body while also building core strength. Your core is your center and a strong core improves balance and stability. (Think of your core as the center of gravity for your body because all movements radiate out from the core.) Combining these three exercise modalities provides maximum total body results in less time.
