PREGNANCY GUIDE

BODYVIVE™

BODYVIVE™ is the new low-impact group fitness class that lets you choose just how hard you work. Using the VIVE™ balls, VIVE™ tubes and optional hand weights you’re talked step-by-step through the entire class by a skilled instructor, while listening to uplifting and inspiring music. Best of all, you finish feeling thoroughly rejuvenated – and fizzing with energy.

BODYVIVE™ is especially suited to active adults in their 40s, 50s and 60s who belong to health and fitness clubs. It’s also suitable for group exercise beginners and anyone who will enjoy this integrated exercise option.

1. Rise and Shine
The class opens with easy, flowing moves to warm and limber up the joints. These often have a tai chi feel. 2. Connect and Go The movements get bigger and the heart rate faster as we introduce the VIVE™ ball to turn the focus towards the core. This is where we start to break a sweat and feel the challenge of the workout.
