This is followed by brief \u00a0&#8220;down time&#8221; off the wall while the instructor shows you the next exercise.\u00a0 One of the reasons that you only need 30 minutes for a full workout is because as you&#8217;re hanging on the wall, you are\u00a0engaging all of the muscles in your body.\u00a0 This is due to the &#8220;fight or flight&#8221; mentality, your brain is telling you to hold on to the wall for your dear life.\u00a0 For a more detailed explanation, read what <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitwallleaside.ca\/pages\/general-fitness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the founder of Fitwall wrote about\u00a0exercising vertically. <\/a>As a stay-at-home mom to two boys, I love the fact that the workout is only half hour.

After just one wall exercise your arms will thank you for a break.\u00a0 I have literally never worked out my arms as much as I have by exercising on the wall.<\/p>\n<p>You can either choose to work out privately or join a small group\u00a0(max 8 people).\u00a0 Having a small class ensures that\u00a0you&#8217;re always getting special attention and 1 on 1 coaching from a trainer.\u00a0 It&#8217;s also nice because you push yourself\u00a0harder trying to keep-up with the person next to you.\u00a0 It&#8217;s never a bad thing to have some\u00a0extra motivation!<a href=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/fitwall-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2382\" src=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/fitwall-1-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"fitwall 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/fitwall-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/fitwall-1-697x464.jpg 697w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/fitwall-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is definitely a good work out option for people with busy schedules or anyone who struggles to maintain a regular exercise routine and is looking for something new and motivating. \u00a0Want to try it out?\u00a0 Your first session is for free!\u00a0 Remember to tell them I sent you.\u00a0 I know that once you go, you&#8217;ll be hooked.\u00a0 You can thank me for it later.<\/p>\n<p>You can contact Fitwall via FB page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FitwallTheStudioLeaside\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FitwallTheStudioLeaside<\/a><br \/>\nOr on Twitter: @fitwallcanada<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw an interesting Facebook thread on a friend&#8217;s wall recently that introduced me to the concept of\u00a0Fitwall, a\u00a0new and exciting workout to hit Canada. \u00a0After signing up for a\u00a0Warrior Dash\u00a0a few weeks ago,\u00a0I made the decision to train seriously and properly.\u00a0 Besides running, I also need to strength train, and this is where Fitwall [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"Looking for a new and exciting workout? @Fitwallcanada is a great way to strength train #vertically http:\/\/wp.me\/p3dEqj-Ci","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[924,124,5309,137227202],"tags":[137227110,137227084,137227113,137227111,137227108,137227109,137227114],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.7 (Yoast SEO v22.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Looking for a new and exciting workout?
