Exercising away… Hawaiian style
Slimline Fitness Centre of
Pengkalan Gadong has recently introduced a range of aerobic
classes to cater to the varying needs of women in the country.
Mary Rose, a specialised
instructress, who owns the fitness centre, explained that the
classes are choreographed and would require a high level of
coordination skills.
Martial arts, kickboxing,
Hawaiian, Hip-hop, Funk and Jazz are just some of the aerobic
styles the centre currently have to offer, she explained. “A
variety of equipment-based workouts are also available.”
“The benefits of aerobics
include increased cardiopulmonary efficiency, strengthened heart
and lungs, improved circulation, lowered cholesterol levels, and
stress and anxiety reduction. “It is a strenuous form of
exercise, and thorough preparation, wise choice of routines,
proper equipment, and consideration of floor surfaces are
essential to avoid injury,” she explained.
