7 Fun Ways to Get in Shape This Year
Remember that new year resolution that you made back in January? The one about working out and keeping fit? News flash! We are really close to hitting the middle of the year. And it’s duly time to make those resolutions come true! If you think working out only involves sweat and tears, think again! There are many other activities that makes exercising fun and enjoyable! Here are classes you can attend in Verlocal with varying levels of intensities. The hosts also offer trial classes, if you are looking to just test the waters!
1. Make Moves with Spanish Dance
Whether you are an expert in dance or otherwise, dance is a great way to get yourself in shape while having lots of fun. Spanish dance, with its signature dance forms such as Flamenco, helps you to train your lower-body muscles.
Learn four different types of Spanish dances in this class — Flamenco, Classical, Regional/Folk and Escuela Bolera — either under the trial or dance lessons.
Time: 11AM — 12PM (1, 2, 17, 19 June)
Price: $35 (trial lessons), $200 — $300 (dance lessons)
Book now for trial or for full dance lessons
2. Join a Fitness Bootcamp
Sometimes sticking to a workout plan may be difficult, especially with many other commitments filling up your schedule. The fact that different body types require different training makes it even harder for you to make your own fitness plan and that may make your bed look so much more alluring (at least sleeping is universal). Here’s when a personal trainer comes in handy! You can customise your own personal training in order for you to achieve your desired fitness and body goals. Join Joe in his fitness bootcamp held at Kovan to experience a fun, dynamic, and challenging programme! If you enjoyed his bootcamp, go ahead and book him as your personal trainer here.
Time: 7.30PM — 8.30PM (28 — 29 May, 4 — 5, 11 — 12, 18 — 19, 25 — 26 June, 2 — 3, 9 — 10 July)
Price: Free (1 trial session), $70 (4 sessions), $90 (8 sessions)
3. Exercise while You Dance Street Jazz
If Spanish dance is not your cup of tea, how about giving Street Jazz a go? This dance genre comes with many different health benefits, including greater flexibility and endurance. Learn under the guidance of Su Yun, a highly trained dancer who performs locally with Flamenco Sin Fronteras, and overseas as a soloist. While Street Jazz comes with a lot of hard-hitting moves derived from hip-hop and breakdance, it has its smooth moments too — great for you to attain muscle control.
Time: 6PM — 7PM (17, 19 June)
Price: $30 (for trial lessons), $100 (for dance lessons)
Book now for trial or full dance lessons
4. Climb to Reach Your Fitness Goals
You don’t have to be Spiderman to climb walls! If you’re looking for an activity that not only brings you closer to your fitness goals but also gives you a unique experience and a certificate, then here’s one for you! Join Gorilla Climbing Gym as they run through the basics of sports climbing.
Time: 10AM — 5PM (27 May 2018)
Price: $70 ($65 for members), $60 for students with ID ($50 for student members)
5. Jumpstart Your Fitness Game
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has become the “in” thing because of its potential to torch maximum calories in minimal amounts of time. So how about adding some fun trampoline action together with your high intensity workout? You can take away basic and different styles of jumping, and improve your metabolism rate, core strength and endurance.
Time: 11AM — 12PM (Saturdays)
Price: $21 (1 session), $70 (4 sessions), $128 (10 sessions)
6. Gallop Towards Your Desired Body
When it comes to exercising, horseback riding may not be the first activity that comes to your mind. But it is a great way for you to develop muscle flexibility and core strength. As an isometric exercise which involves using specific muscles to keep your posture upright, horseback riding not only helps you in keeping fit, but also in improving your posture!
Time: 9AM — 9.45AM, 10AM — 10.45AM, 11AM — 11.45AM
Price: $85.60 (semi-private class)
7. Build Muscle Strength with Lyrical Jazz
If Street Jazz incorporates flavours of street dances, then Lyrical Jazz incorporates flavours of ballet and modern dance! Similar to the former, Lyrical Jazz leaves you with an increase in strength and coordination. Dance your way to your fitness goals!
Time: 12PM — 1PM (21, 23 June)
Price: $30 (for trial lessons), $100 (for dance lessons)
Book now for trial or full dance lessons
With all these activities in place and many more, you will get the summer body of your dreams in no time! Of course, your fitness progress is based on you and your commitment, so give the full lessons a go if a single workout session interests you enough!
