What Is JUMP START Like?  

Teams of four start with a trainer led dynamic warm-up to get the blood flowing and joints lubricated properly. Next, you get to try all ten stations for two 45-second rounds of specially designed exercises for optimal results. Our CTC trainer will demonstrate, assist, and offer options for each exercise. Expect a lot of high fives as you and your team jump start your fitness.  

Who is JUMP START Best For?  

Jump Start is for anyone wanting to accelerate their fitness levels and learn how to properly use the CTC unit. Jump Start is a quick and effective way to fast track your way to fitness.  

Is JUMP START a Good Workout?  

Jump Start is High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), a strategy of alternating intervals of short intense anaerobic exercise with minimal recovery periods. HIIT training will maximize athletic condition and capacity, increase glucose metabolism and fat burning. You can expect strength, cardiovascular, and brain health benefits: 

• Strength. Not only does strength training improve body composition, but it increases bone density and lowers the risk of both heart disease and diabetes.  

• Cardiovascular Conditioning. Jump Start training improves heart and lung efficiency, sending more oxygen to the muscles, boosting VO2 Max, and lowering blood pressure.  

• Core Stability. Jump Start will improve core stability and strength. 

• Brain Growth. Research suggests that HIIT elevates BDNF, a protein that stimulates the growth of new brain cells. This means that older adults who want to reduce the risk of dementia or Alzheimer’s should consider adding one or two HIIT workouts per week to their exercise program.

How Long Is JUMP START?

What Should I Wear for JUMP START?
