Functional Fitness Class with Melise Sears, Vigor Community Fitness Can you easily lift your suitcase into the overhead bin on the bus or plane, or pick up something you’ve dropped under the bed? Are you looking forward to activities like family hiking on the trails of Jasper Park or doing a walking tour of Italy in retirement? Functional exercise is about making sure that your fitness level will allow you to have the quality of life you want, now and in your future. Functional exercises use various muscles in the upper and lower body at the same time, and emphasize core stability; they train your muscles to help you do everyday activities safely and efficiently. “I looked forward to coming to class to see the community, receive personal instruction, and to participate in workouts that tempered my anxiety, kept me engaged, and didn’t leave me feeling unmotivated and uncoordinated. Gaining strength and mobility made other activities I loved easier. My husband and I opened VIGOR in 2022 to bring these benefits to others so we could all enjoy better physical and mental well-being.”
Vigor Community Fitness Mélise Sears loved the methodology of functional fitness and hopes that the Vigor Community Fitness team can show you how their training program can improve your well-being like it has for her and many others. Come dressed in your workout wear for a 45-minute introductory class at VIGOR!
