Exercising is an important part of keeping your muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints healthy to help reduce and prevent chronic pain and stiffness. However, when it comes to exercising, some people don’t know where to start. It can be hard to motivate yourself enough to try a routine, or you may not know which exercises are right for you.
If this sounds like you, you may want to consider joining a small-group fitness class. These are classes that typically have small groups of 10 to 15 people who are led by a qualified trainer. Small-group fitness is available to people at all levels of fitness, so anyone who is ready to exercise can join a group to get started.
Four benefits of small-group fitness
- Professional guidance — One of the trickiest steps in exercising is knowing how to start. Which exercises should you do? How many repetitions and sets? How do you do the exercises correctly and safely? The professional trainers who lead small-group fitness classes can provide guidance in these areas to help you get started.
- Consistency — Small-group fitness classes meet up on a regular basis. This is beneficial because remaining consistent in your routine is an important part of reaching your goals. With small-group fitness, it’s easy to stay consistent in your routine because all you have to do is show up and participate in the class. You don’t need to worry about planning your routine or thinking about what to do next.
- Motivation — It can be difficult to remain motivated to exercise sometimes. Some days, you may feel a little more tired. Others, you may simply be bored of exercising. However, a small-group fitness class provides a level of motivation and accountability to help keep you active in your routine so you can reach your fitness goals.
- Friends — Small-group fitness classes can be fun. They provide a great environment in which you can meet new people who may become your friends. This helps add to your motivation and accountability because it’s easier to exercise when you know you get to do it with people you like.
