WHAT WILL I DO?
Group Centergy has a consistent format that will enable you to get comfortable with movements and to see your health and well-being improve. The workout consists of 10 tracks, accompanied by emotive music, that have specific workout objectives.
1. FOCUS – Athletic, functional, full-body movements kick off the journey to get your mind and body warm.
2. SALUTATIONS – The sweat really starts here as traditional yoga postures are repeated, building strength and stamina.
3. CHALLENGE – Standing yoga poses put the lower body on notice during this physical highpoint track. This is a full-body track that will leave you shaking.
4. BALANCE – The energy pulls back, allowing you to focus inward and concentrate on balance, but you are still working and burning calories.
5. Core BACK – Core training for the often-neglected back area will create muscle balance and improve posture.
6. Core FRONT – Uses inspiration from one of today’s most popular exercise trends, Pilates, to strengthen your abs and stabilize your pelvis.
7. HIPS – Exercises promote both stability and mobility through the hips, which translates to a healthy and pain-free back and spine.
8. SPIRALS – Includes rotational movements to improve the mobility, flexibility, and stability of the spine, all requisites to feeling and staying young!
9. FOLDS – Lower back and hamstrings stretches are the antidote for a physically and mentally stressed body.
10. RESTORE – Also referred to as a mini vacation, you’ll be ready to take on all physical and mental challenges by the end of this track as you recover from the workout.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO IT?
Group Centergy can be done as often as you like. How you feel is your best gauge of your body’s recovery needs between workouts. It is important that you gradually build a regular workout schedule, being careful not to push too far, too fast. During your first four weeks, we recommend doing Group Centergy no more than three times per week.
HOW WILL I FEEL?
Typically adults do not like to be “new” at anything, and they have high expectations of their first performance. It is important to understand that Group Centergy is a journey, not a destination. The goal at first should be to start the journey to improved physical and emotional well-being. During the workout, you will feel more aware of your body than ever because of the newness of the experience and the nature of the workout. Some of the movements and postures may feel quite different than your everyday movements and even awkward as a result. It might also seem like it is moving a little faster than you would like because the terminology is somewhat unfamiliar. With each workout, you will become more comfortable and feel more successful. Talk to the instructor after Group Centergy to let them know how you felt and if anything felt particularly challenging for you. The instructor will answer your questions and address your concerns to help you achieve greater success in your next workout. Keep in mind that you may be sore afterwards because your body is adjusting to the new demands on your muscles. This is perfectly normal. Above all, don’t forget to have fun as you start your Group Centergy journey.
