Ten exercises varying from strength and cardiovascular are performed at moderate to high intensities where both immediate and intermediate energy pathways are used. Three total rounds are completed and each round will require a longer work interval with a shorter recovery.
Classes will be on the schedule starting the week of June 6. Check the FFC+ app for dates and times. We’ll see you in class! Questions? Please contact Lois at lois.miller@ffc.com.
