Pound Fit

It’s a training program in which drumming is simulated by using sticks similar to the sticks used for this instrument.

It is an intense exercise for those who love music in which you will work the static muscles and the entire lower body: legs, buttocks, abdomen and arms. It has an important base in pilates, but it also includes cardio exercises.

Classes are 45 minutes long, divided according to the songs and the different muscles to try. Between 500-900 calories can be burned each session and there aren’t suggested ages. This exercise technique claims to have a liberating effect of stress by constantly beating the sticks on the ground.
