Using hand weights and resistance bands, participants gain strength, flexibility and increase muscle definition. This one-hour class works through every major muscle group. The class provides some cardiovascular work, in addition to building lean muscle tissue, and increases muscle definition and boosts metabolism without building bulk or size.
