Groove Aerobics Lite is a modified version of our amazing class. Combining fun routines with great music just at a lower intensity, this class is perfect for those who need to take it a little easier but still love to move and groove. The focus is on coordination, mobility and allowing you to work at your own level.

Routine cycles are mixed up and changed every eight weeks, so you will always be challenged both mentally and physically.

Benefits include:

• Improved balance
• Improved coordination
• Cardiovascular workout
• Gain muscle strength
• Range of dance styles
• Great mood booster

Come and give it a try! Places can be pre-booked or you can turn up and pay on day. For more information or to book your place please contact The Mill on 01295 279002.
