Kick box/Core Boot camp at Big Foot High School Walworth, Wisconsin

Posted to Area Attractions & Events, Fontana, Geneva Lake Area

Zumba at Bigfoot High School in Walworth Wisconsin, Spin at the YMCA in Lake Geneva with Amy G., Walk/Run, Boot camp with John Palmer Personal Trainer in Fontana, Box in my basement on Wood St. in Walworth, WI, paddleboard at Fontana Paddle Company in Fontana WI weather permitting, but I stepped out of the box and decided to try a kick-box core Boot camp offered by BigFoot Recreation department at Bigfoot High School in Walworth WI with Mike Ludens.

The first class was really kind of learning and understanding Mikes’ approach to fitness. This class is different, after my first attempt the jury was still out. But I liked it, I liked Mike, I went back!

The class involves rotating around the room doing a series exercises: balancing balls, medicine balls, kicks, ab rolls, boxing moves, all designed to strengthen the “core” of your body. I have always thought if I didn’t do a lot of cardiovascular exercises it well, wouldn’t work. Man, oh man, was I wrong! This class actually gets more challenging as the weeks fly by. The class is for any age, of any fitness level. Whatever level though you will work up a sweat, so bring a towel and a bottle of water.

Dr. Bria and Dr Hoffman from Fontana Chiropractor in Fontana, Wisconsin have educated me in the fact that we need to be mindful of our core, keep it strong and balance is key in an aging body to help us from later injuries. This class definitely gets you on the right track for core strengthening.

The Classes are Tuesday and Thursdays at 6 p.m. at: Big Foot High School 401 Devils Lane Walworth WI 53184
