Sometimes it can be hard to find the motivation to get a good work out in. Between busy schedules at work, kids and family, we understand it’s not always easy to squeeze in the time for a sweat session. We won’t even begin to mention how expensive gym memberships and workout classes can be. However, experts say that in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle, it’s recommended to get in three workouts a week.
Well lucky for you, North Beach offers some free and very affordable exercise classes. These convenient, and cost effective classes will make it just a little harder to find an excuse not to work out. Check out the classes we’ve rounded up below and pick your favorite. You can thank us later!
Water Aerobics
Where: Normandy Isle Pool & Park, 7030 Trouville Esplanade
When: Tuesdays & Thursdays at 2pm
Water aerobics have proven to relieve stress and tension, as muscles are loosened and more relaxed once submerged under water. This is also a great option for someone looking for a low-impact workout that can burn a good amount of calories. The facility features two separate pools; a play pool at 0″-15″ depth with interactive water elements for children, and a main lap pool with 4 lanes which is aerated in the summer and heated in the winter. Changing rooms, lockers, and showers are available. See also their summer camp offerings.
