Losing Weight The Exotic Way
evawhite on February 29th, 2008
One of my many New Year resolutions for the year was to lose weight. It’s been two months into 2008 and I am still no where close to my target weight. I was quite bored of my regular regime of gyming and walking. As I was in search of new forms of exercises, I came across some really new and unheard ones. Some of them being:
PILATES
Hollywood’s doing it. Madonna and Oprah move by it.
In simple terms, the Pilates Method is a fitness method developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles. It targets body parts like abdomen, back, and hips more while using the entire body.
CALLANETICS
Callanetics is an exercise method started by Callan Pinckney. Callanetics is a gentle and effective form of exercise. It was originally developed to cure back aches and back problems. It uses gentle and delicate movements and gives no jerks to the body. People of all age groups can do this form of exercise.
BELLY DANCING
Belly dance is an Arabic style of dance developed in the Middle East. Today belly dancing is also used as an effective method for keeping fit and healthy. Belly dancing requires a lot of hip movements. It is a form of dance which is subtle as well as tiring. It helps to tone the muscles and keep them in good shape. There are special classes to teach Belly dancing with specialized instructors.
POWER YOGA
After having Power lunches, power naps and power walking….. we now have Power Yoga. It’s the latest fitness buzz around the world. It is fusion of traditional yoga with the modern type of flexibility exercises. It is an East-meets-West routine. It shows results faster than the traditional yoga and sounds way cooler, don’t you think? to be doing power yoga. Power yoga gives very few breathers and is done non stop. It focuses on tightening of muscles thereby making it more intense. Power yoga too, like the traditional yoga, helps reduce stress and relax your body.
KRAV MAGA
This is a form of martial arts which originates from Israel. It is a self defense and military hand to hand combat system. Today it has become one of the energizing forms of fitness. It has been transformed to use it as a form of exercise. This form teaches self-discipline, intense fitness and high levels of concentration.
KICKBOXING
Kickboxing, there’s a new way to get the body sweating. This form covers the ancient art and modern kickboxing, and build leaner legs and a better butt. Are you looking for a total body workout that totally kicks butt? How about a way to increase your stamina, flexibility, and strength while listening to your favorite dance mixes? Kickboxing combines elements of boxing, martial arts and aerobics to provide overall physical fitness. Kickboxing done in the form of exercise does not involve physical contact between two people
CAPOEIRA
Capoeira is a cultural art from Brazil. This art of fighting has a blend of music, gymnastics, theatric movements and play. It is done to the tune of music in a constant dance like motion, involving kicks and gymnastic moves. Nowadays these moves are taught to participants to build their strength, and help them to remain fit.
I am sure after reading this article you too are wondering which form of exercise to choose. I think I’ll go for Belly dancing. It will keep me fit and soon I will learn a new form of dance too.
