5 Group Fitness Classes to Help with Seasonal Allergies

Spring has finally sprung and so have seasonal allergies. Allergies can have a major impact on your daily life—especially your exercise routine. After all, who wants to run through the park if it ends in a runny nose?

Fortunately, seasonal allergies don’t have to get in the way of your fitness goals! The YMCA offers indoor group fitness classes that are perfect for helping you stay fit without aggravating your sinuses.

Read on for some fun and energetic ways to work out that can help reduce your allergy symptoms.

 

1. Aquaerobics

Aquaerobics fitness class

Take your workout to the water with aquaerobics! This class involves low-impact exercise for developing muscle strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance while also being easy on the joints. The humidity in the pool will help soothe your nasal passages and skin making it perfect for those with allergies.

Want to make a splash but don’t enjoy water aerobics? Check out our full lineup of aquatic group fitness classes to find the one that you're sure to love!

 

2. Zumba

Zumba fitness class

Dance your allergies away! In our Zumba group fitness classes, instructors will lead you through exercises influenced by a variety of dance styles, including merengue, flamenco, salsa, and more. This cardio exercise gets your heart pumping and blood flowing, allowing allergens to move more quickly through the body. This increased blood flow also reduces inflammation in the nasal passages, meaning you can breathe easily as you dance across the floor!

 

3. Pilates

Pilates fitness class

You can breathe easy knowing Pilates can help you fight against your allergy symptoms while also strengthening your core and reducing stress. This low-impact workout focuses on six primary principles: control, center, concentration, precision, breathing, and flow. Pilates can help improve breathing and strengthen your lungs, making it an excellent option for those with allergies.

 

4. Yoga

Yoga fitness class

This low-impact exercise is a great way to relieve stress and improve your overall health. Much like pilates, yoga brings focus to your breathing which can reduce inflammation in your lungs and nasal passages. Yoga poses can also open up your chest, reduce congestion, and namaste away your allergies!

 

5. Hi/Lo

Hi/Lo fitness class

Whether you’re feeling high or low, these exercises can get your blood flowing and keep your allergy symptoms at bay. Hi/Lo instructors will lead you through warm-ups and stretching, followed by aerobic exercises incorporating free weights, stability balls, resistance bands, and more. This combination of high and low-intensity exercises increases blood flow which reduces the level of allergens in your system.

 

Seasonal allergies don’t have to stop you from reaching your fitness goals. Group fitness classes at the YMCA can help you stay active while feeling your best!

To learn more about all of our group fitness classes, connect with your local YMCA to get started.
