Let's be real here. Some people do not like to exercise, and then there are some people who love it. Then there are some people who exercise not because they fee obligated but they want to be kind to their body's and there are the people who exercise because it is a stress reliever. I exercise because I want to keep my body healthy.

The majority of the time that I am at the gym is three to four times a week which is a healthy amount. But usually, while I am there, it's for group exercise. I do Zumba twice a week and a spin class once a week. Other than that I'm just on the elliptical, and doing ab workouts, and leg workouts, and weight workouts. Zumba is a stress reliever for me because it is fun to just move around and let loose.

I am here to give you some reasons why I think group exercise is beneficial for people who want to workout and also have fun at the same time!

One reason group exercise is beneficial is because the instructor of the class motivates you to the best version of yourself while working out. S/he wants you to challenge yourself and test your limits. Heck, I totally see this in my spin class every Thursday night. My instructor tells us all to add gears until we're up to 20 gears. He wants us to challenge ourselves, and I am glad for that. Sometimes working out alone can be hard because there's no one else there to motivate you.

Going to fitness classes will help you manage your time and help you become more regular at the gym. Group fitness classes are not about losing weight; they are about having fun, and being healthy which is what everyone should be. Healthy. Being healthy is so important. It is not about the size of your jeans; it's about spending at least an hour a day being active whether is it walking or joining a yoga class, or kick boxing class.

If you never stepped foot in a group exercise class, then I encourage you all to try a class you may be interested in. Once you fall in love with an exercise class whether it be Zumba of Spin, you'll be excited for that Monday or Thursday when the class is in session. So go on now, go sign up for a class!!
