The 40 minutes workout allows you to stay focused and get the most out of every minute. “Knowing that you only have 40 minutes helps you stay focused… With no time limit, I've noticed that our minds often stray while sitting on the Proformer in between sets. And before we know it, several minutes could have passed. Let's take that waisted time and put it back into the workout!” Said trainer to the stars, Sebastien Lagree. In addition, our bodies are responsive to exercise on a continuum, not on a time-based threshold. An effective workout can be had in any amount of time, given how you manipulate the variables of the workout. People don't need more time, they just need more intensity. The body responds more to intensity than it does to the duration of a workout. A more intense workout burns more calories per minute, and will result in a much stronger post-exercise reaction (also called Post Cardio Effect.) That's right, after an SPX class, your will continue to burn calories at a rate of a third more calories than during the workout-and this goes on for hours!! The metabolic system sends a message that it needs to make you a lean, mean, fighting machine. Less time per class means more classes per day and no more excuses to miss a class! Get the same results you love in less time. You will Feel great taking just 40 minutes to work on yourself. And to make sure you keep at it, choose a class that fits into your schedule -- and that you enjoy. You will be able to choose what Body part you want to concentrate one. Just look in the calendar to see what the focus of that workout is, upper or lower. All classes include core and abs. SPX combines both Pilates and strength training, for a fast, concentrated workout that can burn up to 500 calories in 40 minutes.
