Bidding Adieu To Minnie

     One of the perks of joining a contemporary boutique style fitness centre is being able to try out different exercise classes. In addition to developing a love for Zumba, I am also a huge fan of Piloxing.

     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!

  1. Must be sad to see her left. I used to go to such pilates and aerobic classes. Kind of missing the classes.

    1. Oh yes, definitely sorry to see her go, but happy for her too, as she pursues her dreams.
      I enjoy Pilates too, but the class is held a little too late for me, so I don't attend the Pilates sessions anymore.

  3. I 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!

  4. Zumba is one of my fave classes. I'd like to give this Piloxing a go though too!

    1. High 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.
