Drums Alive! puts fun and a new beat in your workout…

Our giant stability balls aren't just for sit-ups anymore! Place a fitness ball on some risers grab a set of drumsticks and add percussion to your aerobic workout routine! Drums Alive! aims to mix aerobic dance with percussion to boost concentration and motor skills coming from the brain, while still challenging your body.

Drums Alive! is a unique sensory/motor program that is designed to give the mind and body instant feedback through continuous movement and rhythmical flow. It is a program that utilizes "whole brain" - "whole body" thinking by developing sensory motor reflexes and kinesthetic awareness. The physiological and psychological benefits are numerous including: those found in traditional forms of aerobic fitness, but drumming has also been found to improve and increase the neurological connection between the 2 brain hemispheres. This synchronization of the hemisphere has been shown to stimulate alpha brain wave activity which can lead to higher levels of concentration sensory, motor improvement, and an overall sense of well being.

Drums Alive! class design starts with a warm-up and moves into power beats (cardiovascular training) then you take it down to wellness beats (slower rhythmical beats) and finishes with cool down and relaxation.

Classes currently offered are Power Beats and Silver Beats.

Coming in 2009 Kids & Family Beats.
