cardio class

Group exercise session

A cardio class is a group fitness session focused on exercises that elevate heart rate and improve cardiovascular endurance.

These classes typically involve sustained rhythmic movements—running, cycling, dancing, or aerobics—led by an instructor at a gym or studio: I'm exhausted after that cardio class.

The term distinguishes heart-pumping workouts from strength training or flexibility sessions.
