Course content
In a broader sense, sometimes are called aerobics also some other forms of exercise. This year we will focus on AEROBIC DANCE, classic aerobics with basic choreography. MTV DANCE, aerobics with challenging choreography and elements of RnB. STRETCHING is an effective method that can naturally and gently prepare muscles for an increased load or also quite ordinary functioning of our body (stretch); keeps the locomotive apparatus in good condition as long as possible, while disposing the body of stress and fatigue. BODYSTYLING helps to evenly shape and strengthen figure. Training focuses on the formation of muscles throughout the entire body, however, you can focus only on problematic parts e.g. thighs, buttocks and abdominal muscles. Bodystyling is a combination of traditional aerobics, which is used to heat the entire body, and strengthening. Tempo is changed depending on which muscle group is just being trained, whereas you should periodically change the muscles of the upper and lower extremities, to avoid the congestion. The exercise strengthens and shapes the entire body (and particularly problematic body parts), there is also stretch and strengthening of the entire body. The advantage is that it is suitable for individuals of different ages with varying fitness levels and is relaxing as well. PUMP is an active exercise loading weights (bars) for a complex strengthening of the entire body. During the group lesson are actively involved all muscle parts thanks to exercises such as squats, thrusts, presses and lifts. PILATES is an exercise system that strengthens the body evenly and improves its posture. Emphasis is put on proper breathing, concentration, control of movement, accuracy and fluency of exercises. Exercises are aimed at strengthening the so-called strong centre (the loins, abdomen from the navel down and buttocks), from where all movements come from. There are different options: relaxing, with the ball, rubbers ... FITBALL, a balance ball is an ideal and perfect tool, which will force you to develop all movement skills, especially mobility, coordination and balance. Even the seating right on the ball improves posture and strengthens the muscles in the lumbar spine. Exercises on large balloons, strengthening, stretching the entire body. SALSA LATIN DANCE is a Latin American dance in pairs, which has a 4/4 rhythm. The rhythm occurs in 4/4 time, however, danced only in 3/4 time. The fourth time is as a decoration. The rhythm is quick-quick-slow and is danced on the first three periods of time (i.e. 1-2-3, 5-6-7). In salsa a man leads his partner; the woman follows him wherever he wants. Salsa can be danced also individually, or two women can dance together. There is also a special kind of salsa. Salsa Rueda (Rueda de Casino) is danced in a circle. During the dance, one person determines the figures that other dance. Among other types of salsa belongs Cuban salsa, New York or L.A. salsa. Salsa is a free style dance, each dancer creates his "own" salsa. Salsa has been influenced i.a. by African rhythms, French contradanza, Cuban son a quaquanca, Puerto Rican bomba and plena. Due to this is salsa a large mix of cultures and styles. POWER YOGA is aimed at harmonizing the body and mind, the development of physical and mental abilities, reducing stress and tension. It is suitable as a precaution against back pain, which is often caused by the effects of civilization: bad posture, poor movement habits, unilateral loading, etc. This exercise style is focused on stretching and strengthening the muscles throughout the entire body, and maintaining our mortal frame in muscular/physical/ and mental harmony. CORE is perfect for all who seek to strengthen and shape the figure. It has its origins in rehabilitation exercises and seeks to strengthen the deep inner muscles, which are very important for a healthy spine and good posture. Core training also helps prevent injuries in sports performance and back pain.
