City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department

The Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department will host free demonstration classes for its new fitness class called Pound.

Pound is a full-body cardio session that combines cardio moves with strength training and drumming, according to a news release from the city. The class “fuses Pilates, isometric movements, plyometric and yoga poses,” according to the release, and can burn up to 600 calories in a 45-minute session.
