Cardiac Circuits zoom classes are available to all paying members and run from Monday to Thursday at 09:30 am each week.
The major benefit of these classes is that they enable “Clinically Vulnerable” patients to exercise together within an interactive group in a COVID SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
The beauty of these classes is they are fully interactive with the instructor (Richard Stantiford) who is highly specialised in working with clinically vulnerable clients with chronic disease such as coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, etc. You have an opportunity to ask Richard a question at the beginning and end of each session if you have any health concerns or injuries.
The class lasts about 50 minutes long and consists of a 10-15 minute progressive warm-up, followed by 10-15 bodyweight exercises performed as part of a cardiovascular circuit that is designed to increase heart rate and breathing to moderate intensity.
These exercises are repeated up to 3 times. The circuit is then followed by a relaxing cool-down that consists of slow graceful movements that are adapted from “Tai Chi Qigong” which combines deeper, slower breathing with a sequence of movements.
Heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration are all lowered as a result of these exercises. The class ends with stretches for all of the major muscle groups to help maintain flexibility and mobility.
