Give it a Go: What's my workout?

This is a low-impact exercise that just about anyone can do.

Spinning is a form of aerobic exercise that uses a stationary bike.

Some studios provide shoes to wear that clip into the bike that prevent a rider from slipping during the workout. By incorporating hand weights, it becomes a full body workout.

"It's a challenging workout, but I will have somebody who has never done a spin class before in the same class as somebody who's training for a triathlon," said TurboSpin owner Brittany Reed. "The main thing is to modify when you need to."

Orange Theory is one of many high intensity interval workouts in a group setting in the Knoxville area.

It's incorporates heart-rate based training, with the intent to remain at a rate that's 84-91 percent of a person's maximum heart rate for about 12-21 minutes during a class. The "theory" is that it will help you burn the most amount of calories even after your workout.

During a 60-minute class, participants work half the time on a treadmill and half the time between the weight room and a rower.

No two workouts are the same and the focus changes as well. On a strength day, participants will work with more incline and less speed. Power days incorporate more explosive movements like jump squats and burpees, and endurance days in the weight room will incorporate more reps and less weight to help build lean muscle.

Some train in kickboxing to be prepared for self-defense while others do it as a form of general fitness. It can be a fun way to relieve stress as well.

9Round is one of several gyms in the Knoxville area that offers a kickboxing workout.

"We're going to teach you how to fight like a professional kickboxer, but you're not going to get hit," said managing partner Jack Butterini.

9Round is comprised of nine 3-minute rounds and incorporates weights, core-strength exercises, and a lot of bag work.

Just about any kickboxing gym will provide the proper gear like hand wraps and gloves.

Barre combines dance conditions, pilates, and isometric weight training to tone your arms, legs, seat, and abs.

It's a low-impact workout that is designed to be high-intensity and fatigue every muscle group of your body with small isometric movements.

"The concept behind it being long lean muscles, more to one is typically more appealing to a woman," said PureBarre teacher Mackenzie Hammett. "A lot of guys want to guys get in the gym, lift a lot of weight and beef up. That's not to say this is not a workout that's hard to for guys. We have football players come in here, we have athletes who actually come to love the workout because it's something they cannot go in the gym and do themselves."

By definition, CrossFit is constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity.

South Landing CrossFit owners Shane and Crissy Glarrow put it into simpler terms: "We combine mobility, strength training and some cardio training."

Some of the moves CrossFit incorporates can be pretty intimidating, but the couple insists anyone is capable of giving it a try.

After opening their own gym, their first client was 75 years-old. Now, at six-months pregnant, Crissy continues to train through modified workouts.

"Anyone can do it but it's not necessarily for anyone," said Shane who encourages people to give the workout a try first to see if they like it.
