Staying Young & Active: High + Low

SY&A is a Group Fitness, total body, music-based, aerobic dance and strength workout!

Music used in this class, has been specifically designed for this group fitness course, so expect a combination of disco, pop, rock, and some timeless oldies.

The first 30 minutes is your cardiovascular workout. A choreographed dance routine with grapevines, pivots, easy walks and Step knees amongst other moves. 

The second 30 minutes is split between strength training with hand weights, and mat work ( lying on the floor ) for body strength exercises and core. End the hour with stretches. 

Please Note: this course is designed for the more ACTIVE students.

Testimonials 

"I have been attending exercise classes and other functions at North Sydney Community Centre for over 6 years. I want to say it is extremely well-run and very organised. The variety of courses offered is excellent and thoughtfully designed for all ages. The prices are reasonable, and the staff are absolutely terrific - always helpful, patient and smiling! Not many places can say that. My exercise classes, Staying Young & Active, are the best I’ve ever had!"
