Sometimes the worst part about exercising is the physical impact it can have on the body, whether it’s overworked muscles, sore joints or overall achiness. If you value a low-impact workout that still delivers the results you’re looking for, SPENGA Southlake is where it’s at.
A class at SPENGA is an hour long and features 20 minutes of three different types of workouts: spin, strength and yoga, with modifications always offered.
“The 20 minutes in spin is to heat up your body, get a great cardio burn and then move on to the strength,” SPENGA Southlake manager and instructor Tonya Prather says.
When it comes to the strength portion of a class, patrons can expect a little variety.
“It’s a total body workout every day,” Tonya says. “Some days we emphasize more on shoulders, back, core and legs, so there may be different focuses some days, but it’s certainly total body each day. And it can be a combination of all different types of equipment.”
And when all the movement and sweating is done, yoga is the cherry on top that ends a workout session.
“We make sure we stretch you nicely to give yourself a full balance to your workout and give people the opportunity to relax the muscles we’ve been working so hard,” Tonya says.
So if your knees groan at the thought of running or your body aches from doing burpees or squat jumps, ditch the high-intensity exercises and spring for a well-rounded workout that doesn’t kill your joints.
