To ensure you get the most of your group exercise class, follow these guidelines:

• Drink plenty of water before, during, and after working out.
• Listen to your body- if you're too out of breath walk around the room and bring your heart rate down slowly.
• Progress gradually- particularly for strength classes, select the appropriate weights.
• Talk to the instructor if you have any questions about form or if you're unsure of a certain exercise.
• Above all, have fun! Try and engage in a structured exercise most days of the week.
