Class of the Month at Better Gym Sidcup

A Legs, Bums and Tums (LBT) class is a targeted fitness workout that focuses on toning and strengthening the muscles in your legs, glutes (bum), and stomach (tums). These classes are typically designed to improve muscle tone, balance, stability, and overall fitness, and are suitable for all fitness levels, whether you're a beginner or a more advanced athlete.

Key Features of an LBT Class:

• Duration: Usually around 45 minutes.
• Focus Areas: The primary muscle groups worked are the legs, glutes, and abdominal area. You’ll engage in a mix of exercises designed to target these areas, improving strength and muscle definition.
• Variety of Exercises: Expect to perform a variety of lower body and core exercises such as squats, lunges, planks, and leg raises. The class structure usually blends bodyweight exercises, resistance training, and aerobic moves for a full-body effect.

Benefits of LBT Classes:

• Improved Muscle Tone: Regular participation helps sculpt and tone the legs, glutes, and core, which can result in a firmer appearance and improved muscle definition.
• Stronger Lower Body: These classes focus heavily on strengthening the lower body, which contributes to better functional strength for everyday activities and sports.
• Core Strength: Since the "tums" aspect involves the core, you’ll build a stronger abdominal area, enhancing stability and posture.
  Better Balance and Stability: By engaging the core and lower body muscles, you improve your overall balance and stability, which is vital for preventing injuries.
• Increased Endurance and Stamina: The combination of cardio and strength exercises will help boost your overall stamina and endurance levels.
• Improved Sports Performance: With stronger legs, glutes, and a more stable core, your performance in a variety of sports, from running to cycling, can improve.

Why Join an LBT Class?

• Structured and Supportive Environment: LBT classes are typically led by a qualified instructor who ensures that exercises are done correctly and provides motivation. This is especially helpful for beginners or those new to fitness.
• No Guesswork: The class takes the guesswork out of your workout, as its planned and led for you. You can simply follow along and focus on the exercises.
• Community Support: Working out with others can be motivating and fun, offering camaraderie and encouragement throughout the session.

In summary, Legs, Bums, and Tums classes are a fantastic way to improve strength, toning, and endurance, especially in the lower body and core. They offer a full-body workout, boosting athleticism, stability, and overall fitness while being accessible to people at any fitness level.
