Core (Fun)damentals @ 7.30pm
(Fun)damentals - Have Fun Building Strong Core Foundations
Join us every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for Core (Fun)damentals – the best class for building strong core foundations for a stronger you!
For 45minutes, Natalie will be helping you burn fat whilst strengthening the muscles of your stomach, back and booty to build a strong core.
A strong core is the foundation of all human movement, with a weak core being the culprit for many aches and pains as well as bad posture. The mistake people often make is thinking the core consists of only their abs, when in actual fact, the core consists of everything the limbs and head connects to; think – your back, glutes, obliques, and your abs!
This class can be enjoyed from anywhere in the world via Teams and is suitable for people of all ages and abilities regardless of goals since a strong core is fundamental to a healthy body.
Don’t miss out on the chance to start working towards a better and more healthier you!

Is Stretching Really Necessary?
Stretching is often overlooked as an important part of a healthy lifestyle but a lot of general aches and pains are caused by muscle tightness which cause imbalances in the body.
Tight muscles can wreak havoc and are the one of the main culprits behind back pains and bad posture.
Whether you want to improve your body for everyday activity or you’re an experienced exerciser, flexibility and muscle balance is a vital component that can help reduce the likelihood of injury.
Whatever your health and fitness goals are, having a body that is free from muscle imbalances and able to move properly is fundamental to overall wellbeing.
