Sweat the alphabet and dance the digits: come join the
revolution!
It’s about that time of year when most of us (except those
who are unfairly in perfect shape or have resolutely decided that they don’t
care) are making a desperate attempt to shimmy our bodies into shape and get
ourselves fit, so as to not look like a humongous beached whale in our bikinis
this summer! The run down to summer usually follows the same pattern: we set
out with the best intentions of doing regular exercise and eating better, and
of course saying ‘no thank you’ to that huge slice of cake that keeps calling
to you from the depths of your kitchen cupboards. But sticking to this devotion
to ‘being good’ isn’t always as easy as it seems. After the aches and pains set
in, and the realisation that broccoli just doesn’t compare to chocolate, it
becomes oh so easy to pack everything in and decide you would rather stay as
you are – it’s much less work really.
But getting into shape doesn’t have to be this monotonous,
drudging effort. It can in fact… dare I say it…be fun. Allow me to introduce
you to Bokwa. Bokwa is an innovative dance fitness program that uses American
Hand Sign Language and Bokwa Hand Signs to teach the steps which are specially
designed using letters and numbers. All you have to do is follow the signal and
dance the letter or number accordingly; it’s that simple – even for the
uncoordinated and those who suffer from an unfortunate case of
two-left-feet-syndrome! Bokwa is an intense cardiovascular workout that is fun,
energetic and offers a range of intensities making it suitable for every
fitness level. It’s certainly a far cry from those tedious circuits around the
gym, or that laborious five mile run. With its upbeat music, fun and easy to
follow dance steps, and its undeniable energy, Bokwa is an exercise regime you
will want to keep doing…it really is that fun!
So if you’re looking to get yourself into shape for your
summer holiday, or you’re simply searching for a bit more variety in your
fitness program, why not give Bokwa a try and dance yourself to a “healthier,
more energetic and happier you!” Get down to a class and dance the alphabet and
sweat the digits! Once you’ve tried it, you won’t look back (and you’ll no
longer have to pretend that you’re happy with those jiggley bits!).
Here’s a short video that shows you just what this new
fitness craze is all about:
