Is Retro-Robics  a Good Workout?  

Retro-Robics is a solid cardio workout offering benefits such as: 

  • Cardiovascular Benefits. You are continuously moving, keeping the heart rate up, thus lowering blood pressure, burning fat, and strengthening the immune system. 
  • Core Strength and Balance. Retro-Robics exercises require balance and help build core strength, which promotes good posture and prevents muscle injuries and back pain by alleviating the work for the extremities. Core stability also reduces risks of falling or injury. 
  • Coordination and Agility. Retro-Robics improves agility and range of motion (especially for the hips), develops enhanced joint and spine flexibility, and reduces the risk of back pain.  

How Difficult is Retro-Robics? 

5/10. This fiercely fun sweatfest is dynamic from start to finish! People of ALL levels of fitness will increase stamina and endurance! 

How Long Is Retro-Robics? 

Retro-Robics is a 30-minute class of dynamic super-charged fun aerobic moves we all know and love.  

What Should I Wear to Retro-Robics? 

Come ready to play. Typically, people wear sweat wicking clothing that will offer ample coverage and will stay put and allow you to move with ease throughout the range of motion of exercises. Legwarmers are optional! 

Cross Trainers, Dance or Walking Gym Shoes. Comfortable shoes that offer support and stability as you move and dance during class. Running shoes are not optimal because they are designed for linear movement and don’t offer the lateral support needed. 

What do I need to Bring? 

Hydrate my friend! Make sure you have plenty of water with you. Be sure to bring a towel to catch your radiance after you perspire to greatness! Most importantly, bring a great attitude and smile to share.
