Cardiovascular Training
In a nut shell Cardiovascular Training can be defined simply as your body's ability to get oxygen and blood to the muscles. Basically, when you do physical activity and your heart rate increases and your breathing gets deeper, you are using your cardiovascular system. The 'short' term is 'Cardio'. Even though it may be very challenging especially at first, it's important to remember that you can improve your cardiovascular system's efficiency through regular training.
Resistance Training Resistance training works to increase muscle strength and endurance by doing repetitive exercises with weights, weight machines, or resistance bands. One of Angela's favorite training methods is training with body resistance, using nothing but your own body weight to get a great workout! One of the many benefits of this method is you don't need any equipment and it cuts out the 'excuses'.
Interval Training Interval training has been the basis for athletic training routines for many years. It consists of fast bursts of intensive exercise alternated with slow, easy activity. At Peace of Fitness we design sophisticated interval program methods of training for athletic performance enhancement. We also design interval programs that are specifically suited to individual athletes by measuring intervals that match the athlete's sport, event and current level of conditioning.
Core Focus
Core exercises are extremely effective. The best part of doing core exercises is that it will increase your energy level and balance. By strengthening your core muscles, you will feel that your posture has improved and you will feel much stronger doing any type of physical activity. You'll see Core work integrated into many of the classes we offer.

Tai Chi
Tai chi is a 2000 yr old unique Chinese Martial Art Exercise that simultaneously heals the physcial, mental, emotional, and spiritual body. With Tai Chi you can boost your energy levels, dramatically improve your health, slow your aging process, become more creative and significantly lower your stress levels. All this is only scratching the surface of Tai Chi's benefits.
Chi Gong
Chi Gong is a unique Chinese exercise system. Through individual effort, practitioners build up their health and prevent illness by combining discipline of mind, body and the body's "Qi" (vital force). Qigong draws on many elements. It includes regulating the body through posture, regulating the mind through quiet, relaxation and concentration of one's mental activity, regulating the breath, self-massage and movement of the limbs. There are so many benefits to Chi Gong and Tai Chi, both are methods of training everyone should practice in their lives.
Mat Pilates Gravity allows the body to supply its own resistance in Basic Mat Pilates. Comparatively few repetitions are needed for each exercise. Pliates movements focus on core muscle groups known as "the powerhouse" -- the abdomen, lower back, and buttocks--and emphasize deep, coordinated breathing. Pilates exercises aren't jarring to joints, so if you have a history of joint problems, you may be able to do them under supervision without fear of injury or joint or muscle stress.
