Bored of the same old exercise routine? Time to shake things up in 2020!
If you love Pilates and aerobics, then the brand-new exercise group class offered at Virgin Active, called Active Bands, will be right up your alley. Developed in conjunction with British fitness guru Rachel Holmes and Virgin Active SA’s National Product Manager Ceri Hannan, Active Bands uses resistance bands combined with matt-based Pilates and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to give you an all-over body workout. The class also includes moves from Tabata, a form of HIIT that lasts four minutes, and EMOM (every minute on the minute) – a type of interval workout where a specific task is performed every minute for a set amount of time.
Active Bands’ calorie-burning workouts – unlike other resistance-band exercises – focus on the lower body and core, with bands placed higher on the thigh to help activate other muscles in your body and minimise injury risk. The class is so good, it’s even endorsed by local celebs like Zuraida Jardine and KFM’s Sibongile Mafu, who said “My glutes were kicked but I did it all with a smile!” Find your nearest Virgin Active branch offering Active Bands here. #ActiveBands #VirginActiveSA
