ValleyFitness Challenge at VFC


Building on the success of previous bootcamps, we are launching the Vitality Fitness Challenge this year.  Rather than a diet program, this challenge is aimed at families and individuals who would like make their lifestyle more healthy and active!    Participants will be placed in teams, to get the competitive juices flowing and spur you on to higher goals this year!  Starting in January this program is an 8 week challenge program, including program assessments, beginner classes, weight room classes, before and after photos, progress evaluations, and challenge prizes at completion.  Look out for more information coming soon!

  BOSU Body Conditioning

 
Come in and check out the lastest equipment at the VFC.   BOSU's are all the rage across the country. We have a full complement of new bosus in use in our classes, and look for the upcoming BOSU body conditioning class. This class combines balance, strength and flexibility training, but with a whole new twist.  The ever-changing surface of the BOSU will help you more and train dynamically, functionally and with control. Great core strength training. No Choreography. Suitable for beginner to advanced level participants.

“A BOSU ball, is an athletic training device consisting of an inflated rubber hemisphere attached to a rigid platform. It is also referred to as the “blue half-ball”, for it looks like a stability ball cut in half. The name is an acronym which stands for “Both Sides Utilized,” (however the BOSU official web site also says it means “Both Sides Up”) a reference to the myriad ways a BOSU ball can be used. Most American gyms now stock BOSU balls, as they have become popular accessories for aerobic classes and physical exercise. The unique combination of stable/unstable allows a wide range of users, from the young, elderly, or injured to the elite level athlete, to find his or her appropriate level of challenge with minimal risk. With the dome side up, the device can be used in a very dynamic manner for athletic drills and aerobic activities.  As the name suggests, the device can be flipped over so that the platform faces up. In this position, the device is highly unstable and well suited for a wide array of exercises as well. Many use the BOSU ball in this position to train shoulder stability with various push-up and pressing movements.” — Source Wikipedia.
