 Michael Greeves asked: Each year trends in fitness come and go. Some workouts are fads and are here for just a year, and others stick around longer. Here are a few workout trends for 2008. Personal Training: Personal trainers are more common than you might think. People like having an expert there to guide them through a workout. Personal trainers are becoming more accessible in the health and fitness industry. Strength Training: Strength training is popular for both men and women. Some focus on it for bodybuilding and body sculpting. And there are many who weight train to increase and maintain their strength as they get older. Core Training: Core training, once a fad, but has proven itself to be a beneficial type of workout focuses on the abdominal and back muscles. Stability balls, BOSU balls, wobble boards and foam rollers are still used to help target the core area. Having a strong core helps with working out other areas of the body because it gives you the needed support for your spine. A Mix of All Worlds: While some focus on just weight training or cardio, many are combining it all into their workouts. At the gym it seems many choose to focus on strength, flexibility and cardio. The trend is to focus on all of those areas to have a well-rounded workout. Pilates and Yoga: Pilates and yoga are those trends that have remained popular longer. They are the exercises for the mind and body. These workouts target the core of the body, help increase flexibility and improve posture. Many facilities have classes and there are instructional videos if you want to workout in the privacy of your home. Popular Facilities: The major fitness centers and health clubs still have a large clientele base, but it seems more people prefer smaller facilities for their workout routines. Many of these boutique fitness facilities focus on particular workouts such as pilates and yoga. Another new trend coming about in workout facilities is 24-hour access. Most hotels equipped with a workout facility are open 24-hours. People have hectic schedules and it can be difficult to get to the gym, so now many are open day and night for better convenience. A Tango or Cha, Cha? With shows such as Dancing with the Stars, ballroom dancing is becoming more popular. Couples seem to be signing up for classes more often than before. It gives a great opportunity for both partners to stay in shape and spend time with one another. Ballroom dancing can be a very useful aerobic workout. The Cha, Cha, Fox Trot, Polka, Jitterbug, plus many more dances can serve as workouts that make you break a sweat. Children and Adolescents: The health of young children and teens has been a concern now for quite some time. With the increase in popularity of the Internet and video games, children are not as active as before. Child obesity is becoming a problem and is being recognized and addressed. Facilities and workout programs for children are popping up more and more. Younger individuals need to engage in physical activity whether it is working out weekly, trying a new sport or playing outside instead of being glued to the television screen. New trends each year are nice to look for because you don’t want your workouts to be monotonous. They should be fun and enjoyable. Try putting a new twist on your workout this year.

 Clint Jhonson asked: Ballroom dance lessons Atlanta are not only fun, but completely good for your health and well-being too. This is because Latin Salsa dance classes Atlanta allow you to create a wide range of movements which enable your body to exercise as you go along. Who would have thought that a night of Latin music and movement is also a night of exercise and well-being? In Latin Salsa dance classes Atlanta, flexibility is the number one benefit that you will get. When you do Latin Salsa Dance classes Atlanta, you will move in such a way that you will feel your arms extending out and your legs and waist stretching here and there while you sway to the music. This movement in ballroom dance lessons Atlanta allows your body to create really wonderful body lines. Additional benefits that come with flexibility when you practice your ballroom dance lessons Atlanta is an overall increase in your blood circulation, reduced muscle tension and a wider range of motions which you will find in your joints. Thanks to your ballroom dance lessons Atlanta, you can still bend over and pick up some things on the ground without sustaining any injuries as an old person. Your sociability is also increased when you do Latin Salsa dance classes Atlanta. Being with other people in the name of music and fun will definitely make you more confident in being that friendly social butterfly that you are. In Latin Salsa dance classes Atlanta, you will get to meet new people and have a good time getting to know them apart from what puts you in that situation in the first place – which is your love for Latin Salsa dance classes Atlanta. Endurance is also developed thanks to the ballroom dance lessons Atlanta that you take up. You could be dancing a Latin dance at fifty beats per minute speed – which is really fast – or probably Tangoing the night away at thirty three beats per minute and you will not notice it. With this kind of music, you just keep going on and on even if you have been dancing nonstop for forty five minutes already. And the more you have fun with it, the more you last longer on the dance floor. Dancing the night away certainly is a great stress-relieving activity for dance enthusiasts. Some people even say that dancing – especially Latin dances – is also a different kind of meditation technique. Try to be more aware of what you are thinking when you are dancing. When you realize that you probably cannot think of it, it simply means that you are putting in a lot of concentration and effort into your dancing and clearing your mind in the process. After all, who has heard of a dancer who thinks about her laundry or meetings as she works the floor? These are just some of the great benefits that one can get in ballroom dance lessons Atlanta. It is a great way to have fun, meet new people, learn new techniques and tone yourself up the entire time. ballroom dancing
 Esteban Conde asked: REASON WHY YOU SHOULD BE DANCING SALSA RIGHT NOW. Salsa Dancing. What is it that makes it popular today? Why is it that people who salsa seems to be happier, in better shape and in a better mood compared to others? From these questions we see that there are two major roles dancing salsa plays in people’s lives: they are healthier and they have a great social life. We all know, having heard or read somewhere, about the health benefits of dancing. Here are some of the more prominent ones to be considered: · It’s a great cardio activity that is fun; it’s a lot easier to spend three hours dancing than it is to spend forty five minutes on the treadmill. · You burn 450 calories per hour while dancing. Isn’t that amazing? · Your balance and posture improves. · You loose weight. · Your flexibility increases. · It helps develop better circulation. · You will have better coordination. · You gain long-lasting energy as your metabolism increases. It helps you work through or reduce other major health problems (e.g., depression). So if these reasons alone aren’t enough to understand why people pick up salsa dancing, let’s analyze the social aspect of it. We all come from different walks of life; some better than others, but for the most part the one thing people mutually seek is the feeling of being important, of having a purpose and belonging somewhere (e.g., to a community or group of people with common interests or goals). That is where dancing comes in: the means to a better end, building confidence and a sense of self that will drastically improve your quality of life. So how does salsa dancing help fulfill this ultimate goal? Here it goes: Salsa dancing… Inspires in you a positive attitude towards your daily life. Okay, I understand that you don’t want to become the greatest dancer, but dancing helps shift and balance your mental state to a positive one. The best way to achieve this is by doing it often. Since dancing and the social contact uplift the spirit, if done regularly, it helps your life to become that way (positive, happier). Your daily activities become more pleasant as your overall mood is uplifted through dancing salsa. No wonder people say that dancing changes lives. I’ll say it better: “Dancing changes attitudes; positive attitudes change lives.” Helps you to meet new friends. So here are a couple of questions for you: How many long-lasting friends did you make the last time you went to a social gathering? Or a bar (the bartender doesn’t count)? Here is the answer: NONE. Salsa dancing is the perfect social ground for new friendships. You know why? Because from the go, you already know you both have something in common, something that you can talk about. You also get to dance face to face (no offense hip hop), and are able to exchange a small conversation as you dance. This contact is the perfect beginning for a more developed conversation, which usually involves more people. And guess what, these people also like salsa. Next logical step: Let’s get together to have a barbecue! And from this the next common thing to happen is….dundundunduuuun…. You meet a special someone. How nice is the fact that you both love dancing and can share a favorite activity from the start? Forget about the awkward first date, and think about that next time you go dancing! As a bonus, that person is likely well groomed and in great shape! Yahoo! You increase your self-esteem and confidence. If you are shy, this is the safest place to interact with people. The salsa community is an open and extremely friendly one. From the moment you walk in the door, you will feel welcomed – it’s that easy. As you learn how to dance, you find yourself in a situation that is fun, open, and energizing. Don’t forget about the exhilarating Latin music! Watching yourself lose weight, learn how to move well on the dance floor, and constantly improve is an enormous boost in confidence! As a girl, there’s nothing more satisfying than having guys constantly asking you to dance (and more!). As a guy, being able to go up to the **** girl you never would have dreamed of talking to and asking her to dance is an accomplishment that will change your world. Now you will have the boldness and courage to ask any girl to dance, and to be the spotlight on the dance floor! This sense of accomplishment and self-security is something that you will take with you from the salsa club into your daily life; you will be able to watch as the wonders that come from dancing salsa spread through your life, turning everything they touch to gold! So here they are before you: the greatest reasons why people pick up salsa dancing, as their life-changing hobbies. These are their reasons for doing it; what is your excuse not to? All you have to do is sign up for any local salsa class (they are everywhere!), and you will thank me later when I’m in the crowd watching you tear it up on the dance floor. Have a happy journey through the world of salsa dancing!

 Ant Onaf asked: There are many reasons why someone will want to learn how to dance. One of the great things about learning to dance is you will get an invigorating exercise workout. If learning to dance does nothing else for you, it will get your heart pumping and may help you get into shape. If your goal is to get in shape then this mean a simple one week dance class will not do the trick. You should have at least 3 months or more dance lessons which take place 3 times a week or more for at least 1 hour or more per dance lesson. It is important to take dancing serious and attempt to do every move with precision, oppose to a lazy dance move. You need to push yourself to get the most out of your dance workout. A good rule of thumb is if you haven’t worked up a good sweat then you can assume you haven’t danced long enough or you haven’t worked yourself hard enough. Before you start dancing be sure you stretch your muscles. It really doesn’t matter which style of dance you choose to learn because any style will give you a good workout, regardless if it’s swing, ballet, ballroom, hip hop, contemporary, modern, etc. Dancing is such a popular workout that many exercise videos and exercise dance classes incorporate vigorous dance moves into their exercise regimen. I sometimes wonder about the history of dance and the history of exercise, which actually came first or did they both initiate at the same time since they are so closely related. I would make the assumption that dance dates much farther back than exercise because exercise is actually a health related item and the history of health & medicine (in relation to living longer) is rather young. Dancing actually goes as far back to the ancient times when people will dance to entertain the royal family. Learning how to dance makes your exercise workout fun and entertaining, plus you will learn a skill that can give you a lifetime of rewards. You will not have to sit out or keep the wall company at the next party, nightclub, wedding, or event. Additionally, your body will be toned and in shape while you seemingly move gracefully making you command stares from the crowd. It is very possible for anyone to learn to dance. The resources are readily available as you have the option to join a local dance class, you can get independent assistance from a dance teacher, you can learn from the comfort of your own home using instructional dance videos, or you can get books which teach you how to dance. Whichever way you learn to dance you will also learn a lot about your body. You will soon learn that learning to dance is not just a few slick and stylish moves. In fact the more you are in shape the better you will move and the less pain you will have. If you are not in shape you will soon find out when dancing. For the first weeks you will endure pain but you must continue to push yourself to get over the pain. The pain is simply a condition of your body and muscles getting acclimated to the stress dancing and exercise puts on your body. Once you get past the first few days/weeks of pain your body will become well adjusted and it will be natural for you to move gracefully and feel vibrant. The health benefits achieved from dancing is overwhelming and should make anyone want to learn how to dance. So my advice to you is to get out there and start dancing. Website content

 Macie asked: In 2007, the wildly successful musical Dirty Dancing sashayed its way to Toronto’s popular stage and the buzz shows no sign of quieting. The play is based on the 1987 smashing big screen flick with the same name. At the time, it emerged as a low budget film that became a blockbuster – earning over 300 Dollar million worldwide and with a soundtrack that merited two multi-platinum albums. One song “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” won both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Grammy for the Best Duet. Written by Eleanor Bergstein, Dirty Dancing is a love story set in 1963 between an upper-class, college bound vacationer and a working class member of the resort staff. Seventeen years old Jane Baby Houseman – the girl with two left feet -falls in love with Johnny, a professional dancer from the wrong side of the tracks. Naturally, the course of true love fails to run smoothly when Dr. Houseman, Baby’s dad thinks the young man is unfit for his daughter – mistakenly believing he has fathered a child with his dance partner Penny Johnson. The play’s scenery moves with the cast, creating fluidity in the performance. Pieces of the stage rise up and revolve to whisk the characters from one setting to another. The video backdrops of sweeping forests, torrential rainstorms, winding mountain highways and even a lake are all spectacular. Even the sky changes from a mellow blue in the morning to the sharp pinks of sunset. Kudos to set designer Stephen Brimson Lewis! The theater’s surround sound system completes the effect as crickets gently hum in the background during nightfall. Kate Champion’s choreography is a display of raw athleticism, supple grace and balletic elegance. Combined with the 39 actors, Baby’s 21 costume changes and live singing, the performance truly does transport audiences to a different world. On stage, you have real bodies making real leaps. Every night, a very real Jane Baby Houseman turns from a non-dancer into a dancer. The show features a blend of over 50 pop songs from the early 1960′s and the live orchestra is played for the ballroom numbers and several R & B tunes in act two. Additionally, there are modern dances sensually expressed with a nice blend of ballroom, mambo, tango and waltzes to an assortment of pop tunes. At many points in the play, the audience, especially the fans of the movie, would find it hard to stifle excitement as they will get caught up in the nostalgia of 1960s simplicity and hit songs such as “Hungry Eyes” and “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” Despite some nods to social and political significance such as the Peace Corps, John F. Kennedy, and abortion, Dirty dancing is a vivid picture of resort life set to the foot tapping, syncopated rhythms of dance making it an utterly irresistible show. The musical is a hit as it successfully brings a familiar narrative more fully to life!
