Fitness training takes various forms and we each have our own method or specific style of training we challenge ourselves with.

First as Christine would mention “don’t go full circle into any specific type or style of training without first consulting a physician.”

It’s about safety of not only yourself, but others as well and as mocho as you think you might be or think you are – start slow

This past week Christine tried something new and she lets us know how it went.

Christine’s Session:

When asked to try Precision Running, a treadmill interval class at Equinox, an upscale fitness club in Vancouver, I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy the workout.

I was used to running outside, but I was willing to give this class a chance. The difference between running outside vs inside is a close one but it all depends on the fitness levels of the individual.

I was immediately impressed with Equinox’s decor and their lounge with a fireplace. It was a cozy and welcoming environment for fitness enthusiasts.

My class instructor Zachary made me feel welcomed, and then he directed me to treadmill number 18.

In the class we ran intervals with hill inclines, and the other set was focused on speed running with no inclines and in total, we did three (3) sets.

It was a hard effort with running at your own fitness level beside someone who may be faster or slower.

I watched how many calories I was burning while listening to the instructor countdown how many seconds we had left to push.

It was motivating to hear the words of encouragement from our instructor.

I enjoyed the workout, but didn’t push it as I am used to running outside on my favorite trail.

I believe though adding the Precision Running class to your training can have many benefits such as no stress on your joints while offering both a social and supportive environment.

Overall, I found the class fun and unique in that you are taking your interval training inside a warm environment, while getting a good workout.
