DISCOVER THE JOY OF GROUP EXERCISE IN OULU

 

TRACKSUIT DANCING BY JIMI

Dancing (waltz, tango, foxtrot etc) makes for brilliant exercise, but too often it is hampered by constricting evening wear and uncomfortable shoes. Let the music move your body at Jimi Parkkinen’s tracksuit dance while wearing casual exercise clothes. Each tracksuit dancing session lasts for an hour and it includes both dancing and muscle-strengthening exercises, increasing dancing muscle strength and minimizing the risk of training-related injury. Fitness dancing makes for a well-rounded exercise, because it combines anaerobic and aerobic activities. Each session ends with stretching. You can bring a friend or come by yourself and dance alone or in pairs. Tracksuit dancing can be great fun even without a partner when led by a capable instructor, and it also makes it easier to dance when paired up. Dancing is a good way to both exercise and meet new people. A tracksuit dancing session is an effective one-hour workout – you will be sweaty and tired but happy by the end of the session. The music is diverse and will lift your spirits!

TRACKSUIT DANCING ON MONDAYS AT 2 P.M. AT OULU SWIMMING POOL’S
BOXING HALL (RAKSILA, PIKKUKANKAANTIE 3).

 

FITWALK BY JIMI

Walking is the most popular form of exercise in Finland. The basic idea behind fitwalking is simple: keep a brisk pace while the instructor makes sure that you maintain a correct, rolling walking technique. Walking variations combined with different kinds of arm movements make the sport efficient and fun. Different aids can be included as well as speed and coordination exercises, such as sprints and rhythm and pace variations. Warmups at the beginning and stretching at the end seal the hour-long deal. Fitwalking is not a competition; it is a diverse, positive group exercise led by an instructor who guides you along inspiring scenic routes!

FITWALK EXERCISES ON WEDNESDAYS FROM 6 TO 7 P.M. STARTING FROM
RAKSILA SWIMMING POOL (PIKKUKANKAANTIE 3).

 

BIKE TREK

The session begins and ends at Raksila swimming Pool (Pikkukankaantie 3). In addition to bicycle and forest roads, the route follows smaller footpaths. You won’t need a special bike, however – a regular one will do just fine. The session includes muscle-strengthening exercise and stretching at the end. Bring your own bike and come early. Bike trek takes place on Wednesdays, starting at 8:45 p.m. and ending an hour later. Immerse your body and mind in exercise that alternates between aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities!  Welcome!

FITJOG BY JIMI

Fitjog is practically a round-the-year activity and it will introduce you to the correct running technique. Your fellow runners will support and motivate you. In addition to jogging and other techniques, you will learn about sprinting. The sessions will occasionally be enlivened by muscle-strengthening exercises as well as speed and coordination exercises, such as sprinting. Warmups at the beginning and stretching at the end seal the hour-long deal. Fitjogging is a guided group exercise and perfect for you if you like jogging but would also like to try out something new.

The swimming hall lockers are available for use during tracksuit dancing sessions. They require a one-euro coin that will be returned to you when you leave.
