Janie's Programs
Janie believes in including three core elements to her fitness programs:
1. Cardiorespiratory Fitness
2. Strength training
3. Recovery
Janie takes a HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) approach to her boxing and kickboxing sessions, so you are not only working on improving strength, form and techinique, but you are also working on your cardiorespiratory fitness. She uses kickboxing as a vehicle to not only have fun, but also to get your heart and your blood pumping! The recovery aspect of the workout is what makes the training sustainable so that you can be consistent with your fitness goals.
