About this event

IHP classes follow a structure and order where you start with bridgework, then move to core, side body work (planking, clamshell, leg lifts, etc.), back extensions, and then legs/cardio/upper body (burpees, mountain climbers, pushups, etc.). This is High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with emphasis on CORE strength: no impact to the joints, high impact to cardio and core strength. There's such a variety of moves that you'll take 4 or 5 classes and experience a different sequence each time keeping this approach to fitness new and exciting! A Tabata timer is used, where you do exercises for 20 seconds with a 10-second rest, or 30 seconds of work with a five-second rest. The instructor lets you know when to start, when to stop, and when to switch to a new exercise. You will be completely drenched in sweat — be sure to bring a huge water bottle, a towel and a change of clothes!
