Let your hair down and break a sweat in rhythmic fashion with the latest dance-inspired fitness trends heating up studios across Singapore.
PILOXING
The name says it all—Piloxing is a high-octane fitness programme with borrowed elements from core-crunching Pilates, agility-enhancing boxing, and heart-pumping cardio. Along with the promise of a trimmer, more sculpted physique, it is also proven to boost confidence—just the way celebrity trainer and founder, Viveca Jansen, had planned; having founded Piloxing in the hopes of empowering women by challenging their mental and physical threshold through energising moves. Offered at Bolly Dancing Studio, each exhilarating 60-minute session can burn between 400 and 900 calories while dramatically improving your speed, flexibility, reflexes and vitality.
POUND
Ever reach that point where you just need to hit something (or maybe even, someone)? Well, get pounding. As much a high-octane workout as it is the ultimate stress relieving activity, Pound is a full body cardio and conditioning workout with the help of Ripstix— lightly weighted drumsticks engineered specifically for exercising that you use to play an intense air-drum while busting out dance, yoga and Pilates-inspired movements. Singapore’s only certified pound instructor, Grace Sagaya, encapsulates all this in her class, Pound Town, where the technique of coordinated drumming builds brain focus, rhythm, agility and coordination for an ingeniously fun workout that sculpts and burns up to 900 calories in 45 minutes.
