Circus workout - a total body workout
 PHOENIX, Ariz. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Lions running on treadmills, tigers climbing Stairmasters and clowns doing Pilates? Well, not quite, but there is a place where you can fly through the air and lose ten pounds at the same time.Ever since she was a child, Rachel Stegman wanted to run away to the circus. And eventually she did. "As a child I saw aerialists in the circus and wanted to try it and once I did I was hooked for life," Stegman told Ivanhoe. Rachel performs with this San Francisco circus. But now she also has her own place under the big top, her own circus school.  "Some of my students have become professional aerialists but most of them do it as a unique form of fitness or just to run away and join the circus for a day," Stegman said. Most days, Terry Fong has her feet firm on the ground, studying to be a naturopath, but today, she's hanging by a thread. "There's definitely a fear factor, you just have to overcome it that's how you build your confidence," Fong said. The workouts are intense, burning calories and building strength. "This is a total body workout, it works your arms, your legs & your core," Stegman said. "You will work muscles you never knew you had," added Fong. So, ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, welcome to the greatest circus school on earth!
