New fitness trends

It seems these days, people are looking for new and fun ways to stay in shape. Most of us ladies are also looking for something sexy and feminine to do. While in Moncton I have noticed there's a slew of things to do to keep fit, from pole dancing, belly dancing, hot yoga and many other forms of dancing to participate in. But at home videos can be just as much fun!

A new fitness craze is Kama Aerobics, it's fun and sexy... a fusion of belly dance, yoga and pilate movements. You’ll tone your core, your buns and your inner and outer thighs all at once! A half-hour of this fluid workout, you'll be reaching for that towel and water bottle. It helps you to embrace your sensuality and sexuality and be confident in it. From pelvic thrusts to hip swivels, it’s all designed to engage and hone the muscles we use in childbirth and in achieving orgasm.

Also an old turned new fad, is Hula Hooping. Take one hoop, move your hips forward and back (not round and round as most of us tried as kids), add a sense of play, laugh and voilà!—you’re burning calories. The adult versions are heavier and larger—about 42 inches in diameter—and made of irrigation tubing. It’s the weight that ensures more control and ultimately more fun. Once you’ve got waist-hooping down to a science, try to walk around, move your arms and even add a hoop onto your regular aerobic workout.

Lastly, The Dailey Method is dance inspired workouts that take the micromovements of Pilates that target your core, spine and pelvis, combine them with the muscle-burning and elongating techniques that transform mere dancers into prima ballerinas, all done to pop music. It helps you to lengthen out, sculpt your arms, slim your hips, and shrink your waist.
