Cardio Kids class is the perfect place to engage in fun and engaging physical exercise for kids for kids 7-14 yrs old
Every Wed. from 6-7pm at My Gym
It’s a GREAT class. ALL my boys LOVE it! The program combines cardiovascular conditioning, strength & endurance, and stability exercises so children of all abilities will benefit from the class! Just like a cardio workout for adults, this class aims to keep kids moving so they keep their heart rate up. Inspired by circuit training, fun activities like freestyle dancing, tumbling, trampolines, jumping, and hula hoops are combined into a complete workout that improves endurance & gross motor skills. 1st class is FREE – http://www.mygym.com/woodlandhills/schedules. See you there!
