The American Council on Exercise recently published a study, which showed that a specific kettlebell workout burned as many calories as running at a 6-minute mile pace. You can get your strength and aerobic workouts in simultaneously. Now that’s efficient! Yes, of course the kettlebell workout was a challenging one and something to work up to, but you can start with learning the basics, and before you know it, you’ll feel like you just ran your fastest mile since college. Many Fitcorp locations have group kettlebell training sessions available as well as one-on-one instruction.

Jump Rope Is More Than Child's Play
Sure, everyone spent their childhood jumping rope at recess, but who would've ever thought that it would come to be one of the best ways to stay fit as an adult?
Rope'n, a group exercise class offered at Fitcorp Prudential, combines childhood roping with plyometrics, and strength training to help participants burn up to 700 calories in an hour.
This high energy class is a great anerobic work out. By pairing exercises that cause your heart rate to rapidly rise and fall, one is able to burn more calories than a basic cardio work out.
Jump roping also tones muscles in the entire body and maximizes athletic skills by combining agility, coordination, timing, and endurance.
"Not only is this class efficient, but it is fun," says Jackie Glandon, Group Fitness Director. "It is my favorite class to teach."
And don't worry, if your not a jump roper, practice makes perfect. - Says Group Fitness Teacher Corinne Donovan, "Don't get nervous if you haven't jumped rope since you were 12 years old. It's easy to pick it up again, it's addicting.. And most importantly, it's a great work out!"
[Both Jackie and Corinne teach ROPE'N at Fitcorp Prudential; Mondays from 12pm-1pm, and Thursdays from 6:45pm-7:30pm - For more information visit www.fitcorp.com]
