Are you ready for the challenge? Cardio Extreme will be an intense; 2 hour session of cardio, cardio, and more cardio. Each segment consists of 20 minute classes to get that heart rate up and those calories burning. Segments will be a combination of indoor cycling, dance, kickboxing, cardio jam, and a grand finale of awesome abs! Cardio Extreme will be held outside in the amphitheater near the bell tower from 5:00pm – 7:00pm on October 4th. It’s a great workout right before fall break! (If it rains, we will move it to the Beaman Center.)
