Immersion Fitness Classes THE PERFECT CURE FOR YOUR EXERCISE SLUMP

Are you in an exercise slump? No matter how much you love fitness, working out at the gym can get boring. If you’re sick of the same old routine day in and day out, it’s time to try immersion fitness! More than just a physical workout, immersion fitness pushes you physically and mentally by engaging all five senses, creating a workout that makes you forget you’re at the gym. When you’re entrenched in the same routine for a long time, it can leave you mentally drained. Your body might be active in your workout, but your mind isn’t. The all-encompassing experience of immersion fitness creates a routine that keeps you captivated every step of the way. Imagine a spin class in a room with 30 other people — but instead of staring at a boring wall, you’re faced with a large screen that displays a digital track that twists, turns, and loops. The bike you’re on shifts and moves with the BEFORE AFTER &

angle of the track. Not only are you focused on what’s ahead of you, you’re also surrounded by music, and the trainer encourages you throughout. This is just one of the many experiences immersion fitness can offer you. Immersion fitness takes advantage of all five senses — touch, sight, smell, hearing, and even taste. Classes might involve being blindfolded or grasping the hands of other class members. Some even incorporate juice bars to add some flavor. These tactics get you completely absorbed in the workout so both your body and mind are active participants every step of the way. Perhaps most importantly, immersion fitness allows you to focus on yourself, bringing your mind away from your daily worries as you engage with the experience. For 60 minutes, you can think entirely of yourself, your goals, and how good you’ll feel afterward. Eager to try? Visit lesmills.com to find a class near you.
