The Benefits of Blended Athletics' Stamina Classes

 

Are you interested in getting fit but not sure which studio to join? There are many fitness studios out there that offer different types of classes. Two popular ones are the 45min cardio classes at Orange Theory and the circuit training at F45. But which one is better for you, and is there another option? In this blog post, we will compare those two common types of workouts and show you the advantages that Blended Athletics' STAMINA classes will have for your training.

Benefits of a 45min Circuit or cardio workout at F45 or Orange Theory:

  • The intensity of a Circuit workout can burns lots calories in a shorter amount of time, which is great if you're short on time, but you have to work for it. If you are someone that takes longer to get your body moving, you might miss out on that extra calorie burn.

  • Circuit workouts improve your VO2 max (the amount of oxygen your body can utilize during exercise) more than regular cardiovascular exercise, like jogging or cycling.

  • F45 workouts are varied and have routines for you to follow while watching a video screen. They include a variety of exercises that target different muscle groups.

  • HIIT workouts build muscle endurance and may improve performance because they rely on movements that require more power from your muscles.

Benefits of a 55min STAMINA class at Blended Athletics:

  • The longer duration of a Stamina class allows for a more comprehensive, full-body workout. Ten extra mins in class makes a HUGE difference and impact on your results!

  • Stamina classes challenge your aerobic fitness and help improve your endurance over a longer period of time, which also will help you burn more calories. They also utilize strength style movements that help you build and tone muscle. The extra time in class to move dumbbells and kettle bells will get you closer to your goals faster!

  • The programming in a Stamina class is designed to help you become comfortable being uncomfortable, which can translate into other areas of your life outside the gym. Motivating and challenging your mind has been show to help improve your focus and concentration in other aspects of your life.

  • The full-body focus of a Stamina class means that no muscle group is neglected, resulting in a well-rounded workouts throughout the week.

  • Stamina classes help you burn more fat because they create an 'after burn effect.' This means that your body continues to burn calories even after you finish working out because we utilize constantly varied exercises and workout style. Which also keeps you form getting bored.


Both those 45 min classes and our Stamina classes have their own unique benefits. If you're looking for a workout that is shorter and routine, then a circuit style facility might be right for you. However, if you're looking for a longer, full-body workout that will challenge your aerobic fitness and help you build strength, then a Stamina class at Blended Athletics is the way to go!

And think about it, if a person goes to four - 45min classes a week, that is 3 hours of exercise.

Where if you attend four - 55min classes that is 3 hours and 40 mins of fitness a week! That’s almost a whole extra F45 class without even having to drive there an extra time!
