The Lagree Method is designed to benefit every part of the body, with a focus on five components of physical fitness: endurance, cardiovascular fitness, body composition, flexibility, and strength. The method emphasizes controlled reps performed at slow paces, which demand more from the body, leading to improved muscular strength and endurance. Additionally, the method involves quick transitions from exercise to exercise to maximize the time in class. The slow movements, continuous segue from one exercise to the next, and emphasis on slow counts while the body moves at a determined, steady pace while the heart rate is up, are what make the Lagree Method effective for weight loss and muscle toning.
