We are excited to continue a new summer tradition of fitness programming at the Museum. Join us every week in August for a variety of fitness activities to get your blood pumping and your sweat flowing, all while having lots of fun! This year we are partnering with the YMCA of the Cedar Rapids Metropolitan Area to bring you exciting opportunities to get active, all led by experienced instructors.

This week’s activity: 

STRONG by Zumba®: Stop counting the reps. Start training to the beat. STRONG by Zumba^® combines body weight, muscle conditioning, cardio and plyometric training moves synced to original music that has been specifically designed to match every single move. Every squat, every lunge, every burpee is driven by the music, helping you make it to that last rep, and maybe even five more.  In each class you’ll burn calories while toning arms, legs, abs and glutes. Plyometric or explosive moves like high knees, burpees, and jumping jacks are interchanged with isometric moves like lunges, squats, and kickboxing. STRONG by Zumba^® instructors change up the music and moves frequently to make sure you’re always challenged to the max.
