Piloxing is the brainchild of Swedish fitness expert, Viveca Jensen. It uses a combination of Pilates, boxing and dance moves to deliver a high-intensity interval workout. In addition to an improved cardiovascular fitness, Piloxing builds a stronger core, tones muscles, sculpts the body, improves balance, corrects posture and burns fat...indeed an ideal workout.
I have Minnie to thank for introducing such an enjoyable exercise. Every Monday, she takes us through 40 minutes of leg lifts, flat backs, standing side crunches and boxing punches like undercuts and hooks, followed by 20 minutes of floor exercises like abdominal crunches and butt sculpting.
Sadly, this Monday was Minnie's last class at SculptFitness. She will be returning to her hometown, Kuala Lumpur, to further her studies. Piloxing classes at SculptFitness, thankfully, will continue under the tutelage of another instructress. But I will always remember Minnie as the sweet and cheerful girl who brought a whole new dimension to my exercise regime.

Minnie, adieu, thank you and all the best!
Must be sad to see her left. I used to go to such pilates and aerobic classes. Kind of missing the classes.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, definitely sorry to see her go, but happy for her too, as she pursues her dreams.
DeleteI enjoy Pilates too, but the class is held a little too late for me, so I don't attend the Pilates sessions anymore.

ReplyDeleteI think I need to sign up for some dance classes because I seem to be putting on weight faster than I could shed them. Haiz!
ReplyDeleteOh, dance classes are really fun! You won't realise that the hour is up. Perfect for losing some weight!
DeleteZumba is one of my fave classes. I'd like to give this Piloxing a go though too!
ReplyDeleteHigh five!!!! Both my hubby and I really enjoy zumba. Piloxing is almost as fun, and the best part of it is it helps to tone some problem areas.
