Cardio Vascular Training

Simply put, cardiovascular training is good for two things.

1. Strengthening your heart.
2. Getting rid of fat.

There are certainly other benefits like increased endurance, but more people are looking for those two aspects. Cardiovascular training is not only important, but also essential for maintaining fitness, and must be included in your exercise program. At Minton's Sportsplex we have the largest selection of cardiovascular equipment in the area, including the Wave, the hottest new machine in cardio training.

Circuit Training

Circuit training enables the member to perform both a cardiovascular and resistance weight training regimen at the same time. By shortening the length of rest between exercises, this will allow an individual to accomplish the benefits of both a cardiovascular workout while toning his or her figure as well. Circuit training is recommended for the individual who is short on time and/or the individual who is starting an exercise regimen for the first time. Circuit training is also beneficial for the individual who has not been active in an exercise facility in a long time. You will find a separate circuit training room in the front of our fitness center next to our tanning rooms.
