Yogasanas are perhaps the only form of exercise which give sufficient and thorough exercise to the internal organs and glands of the body including such as the prostate and bring firmness and flexibility to the body and increase the lubricatoin of the joints, ligaments and tendons.

LIFESPRINTS

LifeSprints exercise has been developed from research conducted in the Medical Faculty at the University of New South Wales. This research based on indoor cycling has shown that a 20-minute workout consisting of 8 seconds of sprint exercise, followed by 12 seconds of easy cycling, resulted in much more fat loss than 40 minutes of steady state cycling (three times a week for 15 weeks).

LifeSprints also resulted in big increases in aerobic and anaerobic fitness. We include Lifesprints in our interval classes not only on the bike, but also with boxing, skipping, using the step and much more. Heaps of fun and depending on how hard you want to work, it is an awesome workout. Click here to read more.
