Fitness classes are becoming more popular these days, and not only do they offer an intense workout, but enjoyment as well. Fitness classes are a great way to exercise with friends without getting bored and are usually offered for free at your local health club. Most fitness classes are designed to target the cardiovascular aspect (getting the heart rate up) while only a few integrate the entire body into the workout. Below is a list of the most popular fitness classes.

如今，健身运动越来越流行，它不仅能提供大强度的运动，还能给你带来快乐。不仅能让你与朋友一起进行有效地锻炼，还能为你摆脱枯燥和乏味，有时还能得到当地健康俱乐部为你提供的免费服务。大多数健身运动的目的，旨在提高人体心血管系统的机能（加快心跳速率），使整个人体全身心地投入其中。下面向大家介绍一些最为流行的健身运动。

Spinning:

Spinning is an aerobic exercise that takes place on a stationary bike. The class is designed to target the heart rate as well as the lower body (quads, hamstrings, and glutes). Each class typically consists of loud motivating music combined with varying speed and resistance levels to maximize the workout. Spinning is an intense workout that burns around 600-1000 calories per hour (depending on the person). This is a great class for those with knee/ankle problems and varying fitness levels due to the fact that you can exercise at your own pace. Give it a shot!

动感自行车

动感自行车是在固定的自行车上进行的有氧运动。该项目运动不仅可以锻炼下肢（股四头肌，腘绳肌和臀大肌），还可以提高心率。通常在动感十足的音乐节拍下，结合不同的速度及阻力练习，使运动达到极至效果。动感自行车是一项大强度的运动，每小时能燃烧600-1000卡路里的能量（依个人不同而有不同）。由于这项运动能依自己的节奏决定运动的快慢，所以对于膝关节/踝关节有问题及健康状况不同的人都是一项极好的运动。试一把看看！

Cardio Kickboxing:

Cardio Kickboxing classes are typically designed to incorporate the elements of boxing (without physical contact with others) with aerobics (movements that use oxygen) to maximize overall physical fitness. This class is a great way to improve your overall fitness level while enjoying yourself. I personally feel that cardio kickboxing is the most fun and rewarding. It combines an excellent core and upper/lower body workout (punches and kicks) with an intensified cardio workout (jump rope and jumping jacks). An hour session burns around 500 calories. This is an advanced class, so beware of your physical limitations.

有氧拳击

有氧拳击是一项典型的将拳击（与他人没有身体接触）与有氧（有氧运动）极大限度地揉合在一起的健身运动。它不仅能整体地提高健身效果，还能使自身得到一份自足的享受。我个人认为，有氧拳击最能给人带来乐趣和满足。它能在人的上下体及核心部位都得到完美锻炼（出拳和踢脚）的同时，将剧烈的有氧运动（跳绳和娃娃跳）结合在一起。每小时能燃烧500卡路里的能量。这是一项高级的运动，小心身体的极限。

Yoga:

Yoga has become one of the most popular classes in today's fitness world. Yoga classes are designed to control breathing, maintain and sustain physical poses, and increase flexibility. Yoga is a great way to improve total body strength and endurance (upper, lower, and core), balance and stability, and reduce stress. Although this class is a great way to mediate, it only burns around 200 calories per hour. Another form of yoga is Bikram Yoga, or hot yoga, which burns around 600 calories per hour.

瑜伽

瑜伽是当今世界上最热的健身运动之一。它通过调息，调身，舒缓身体，对身体进行修练。它能增强人体的力量，耐力（上肢，下肢及核心部位），提高人体的平衡能力及稳定性，排解压力。虽然它的主要方式是冥想，但每小时也能燃烧200卡路里的能量。瑜伽另一种方式是高温瑜伽，每小时能燃烧的能量达600卡路里。

Body Pump:

Body Pump is a barbell class designed to strengthen the entire body. This style of fitness class combines weight room exercises with aerobics to maximize the results. Body Pump will shape and tone your muscles (upper, lower, and core), improve overall fitness, improve bone density, reduce body fat, and reduce stress levels. An hour of this intense workout burns around 600 calories per class. Again, keep your physical limitations in mind because this class will push you to the limit.

杠铃操

杠铃操是一种利用杠铃进行全身锻炼的运动项目。它与健身房的有氧运动相结合，使健身效果达到最佳。杠铃操能打造强健的肌肉（上肢，下肢及核心部位），增进整体素质，提高骨密度，减少体内脂肪，减轻压力。每次练习后，每小时可燃烧600卡路里的能量，此外，由于该运动很容易将运动量推向极限，所以必须牢记自己身体的极限。

Zumba:

Zumba combines Latin rhythms with easy-to-follow moves to create an enjoyable cardiovascular workout. This style of class engages the core and lower body and burns around 800 calories per hour. Zumba is a great way to lose weight and melt away body fat all while having a blast. Definitely a must try!

尊巴（舞）

尊巴舞是将动感的拉丁音乐与轻松快乐的舞步融合在一起，感受快乐、促进心血管系统循环的运动。人体的核心与下肢是舞蹈的主体，它能让你每小时燃烧800卡路里的能量。在热辣的激情中，尊巴是一项极佳的瘦身，消耗脂肪的运动。一定要去一试！！
