‘Piloxing’ offers alternative to winter laziness

Unless it was your responsibility to shovel your household out of this week’s blizzard, the sedentary lifestyle imposed by this winter’s weather is going to require extraordinary measures to overcome.

And the Schaumburg Park District believes it has just the thing.

The park district will be introducing residents to “Piloxing” — a unique combination of the disciplines of boxing and Pilates — at a free class from 10 to 11 a.m. next Friday, Feb. 11 at the Community Recreation Center, 505 N. Springinsguth Road in Schaumburg.

The class will introduce participants of all ages to this innovative new fitness regimen which matches up the power, speed and strength of boxing with the agility and flexibility of Pilates.

For more information, residents can call (847) 490-7015 or visit the park district’s website at parkfun.com.
