This program, while held at the pool, will be on the deck or grass area
      PiYO (Tues. & Thurs., 8-8:50 AM)                 Program #13403
      PiYo is a Pilates and Yoga inspired workout. It is high intensity but low impact workout that focused on functional flexibility. PiYo combines the muscle-sculpting, core-firming benefits of Pilates with the strength and flexibility advantages of yoga. PiYo takes you through low-impact stretching, strengthening, and bodyweight resistance-based exercises that promote lean muscle development. But, the fast, flowing pace increases the intensity so you're not just sculpting and defining every muscle—you're burning major calories and fat.

Also sometimes called "Flow Yoga," this type of practice involves synchronizing the breath with a continuous flow of postures. The fluid, almost dance-like movements increase flexibility, strength, and stamina, as it calms the mind and improves overall health. This program, while held at the pool, will be on the deck or grass area
      Fitness Inspired Sculpt at Park Forest Pool
