Local resident to lead POUND Master Class Saturday at Shelton Community Center

SHELTON - Channel your inner rockstar with this full body cardio-jam session led by Debbie Russell and inspired by the infectious, energizing, and fun of playing the drums. 

The event will be held from 2-3 p.m. Saturday at the Shelton Community Center, 41 Church St.

Instead of listening to music, you become the music in this exhilarating full-body workout that combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with yoga and pilates-inspired movements.

Using Ripstix which are supplied, POUND transforms drumming into an incredibly effective workout!

This master class is for you if you:
+ hate exercise because it's not fun
+ don't know what POUND is
+ are afraid of hopping into a new fitness class and getting hurt
+ afraid that it might be too intense
+ don't think you can do it because you don't have rhythm or are uncoordinated.

Bring water & exercise mat
$10
