Bellyfit vs. Traditional Fitness

What are the benefits of Bellyfit as opposed to a traditional high/low fitness class?

The benefits of a standard high/low group fitness are many, including improved cardiovascular conditioning, improved coordination and muscle tone, relieving stress and having fun, to name a few. For anyone wanting a good cardiovascular workout, improved strength and flexibility, a high/low class will do the trick. For those wanting a more mind/body/spirit approach, Bellyfit may be the answer. Bellyfit follows the tried and true class format, foot patterning, and rigorous guidelines of today’s current group fitness industry standards, but by using Cultural Dance as our foundation for the cardiovascular component, Pilates for the strength component, and Yoga for the flexibility and relaxation component, we are offering a class that is on the cusp of modern research, development and demand.
As opposed to focusing on the feet, legs and arms which is typical in most high/low classes, the cardiovascular component of Bellyfit emphasizes the fluid movement of hips, abs, spine and shoulders, giving you many benefits you simply won’t get with linear stepping. By incorporating the basic elements of many powerful disciplines, a single Bellyfit class offers an incredible workout that is rooted both in ancient wisdom and precision fitness, with a modern approach that may heal and empower the body, uplift the spirit and open the heart. All with a healthy dose of feminine sensuality, fun and celebration thrown in. (source: Bellyfit.ca)
