I mix aerobics, retro moves and some strength work in all my classes for maximum motivation and maximum effect. Cardio Retro fuses dance inspired aerobic fitness and fantastic music for a fat burning cardio workout that is FUN and EASY TO DO! Cardio Retro is a feel good activity which changes an effective fitness activity into a fun work out to lift your spirits whilst you shape up. ! Aerobics is
a fat burning, fatigue beating cardio class with strength and toning focusing on problem areas plus stretch and mobility. The music is wider ranging than zumba and includes retro, disco, rock, folk and even classical. Who is the teacher? Julie Foster, a local business woman and mother of two who first qualified as an aerobic fitness instructor in 1987 and went on to qualify in circuit training, gym instruction, weight training, stress management, nutrition for exercise and NLP. She taught regularly privately and for Suffolk Council until 2000 when she had her first child. After a long gap she was motivated by the 80′s aerobics revival, the popularity of the Zumba Class Craze and an awareness of the role of activity in weight management and the health of her own children she updated all her qualifications. She added Zumba (including Gold for seniors and Zumbatomic for children), Community Health and GP exercise referral. Most of her classes are delivered at good quality community and education venues but she also teaches occasionally at private gyms including Ufford Park Spa, Ipswich Hospital and for Live Well Suffolk. Julie says”I think the reason that my classes are popular is that I offer a warm, friendly and empathetic approach, the steps are easy and I coach the steps using a microphone so that participants can relax and not worry about what comes next. I also have the knowledge and experience to offer options and adaptations so that those who are rehabilitating after injury, illness, surgery or childbirth can join in.”
