ECO-FITNESS CLASSES
WED, FRI, AND SAT
By combining health-fitness with outdoor recreation BG Florida State Parks will appeal to those seeking to increase time spent exercising and connecting with nature. Through a strategically formulated exercise regimen, participants will see adaptation to their physical abilities as well as an increase in their love for the great outdoors.
HOW IT WORKS
Eco-Fitness Classes– Participants enroll in a 1 Session/week, 2-week long exercise program. Students choose to attend class on either: Monday, Wednesday OR Friday of each week.
- Each session has a WOW (Work Out of the Week.) Therefor, no matter what day the student attends, everyone receives the same work out.
- No week is the same. As the months go on and a following forms the “Focus Activity” (usually the first activity) and the “Recreational Activity” (usually the last activity) will rotate in a dynamic and strategic pattern.
Classes are 2 hours long.
