Dynamic Toning Classes
Having commented in a previous post about the pilates classes at my gym here in Spain being more ´dynamic´than the slightly more ‘pure’ ones in the UK, I have to say the same of the tonificacion classes as well.
I haven’t been to a gym regularly in the UK for several years now but I remember doing a 20 min aerobics session, followed by some usually stationery arm weights and then mat work. Here we seem to do everything on the move. Nothing is high impact, but the aerobics element stays up as arm and leg toning is mainly done on the move, often involving a step for extra effort.
It’s hard work but fun, and the other benefit of being here is the view of the mountains and sunshine from the window of the exercise studio!
Fitness and diet has been a growing interest of mine for about 15 years now. What was initially just 'my thing' became a much stronger focus 8 years ago when I gave up working full time in business. I have since learned a lot about nutrition, and trained in Pilates mat work, as well as in more traditional gym programs.
We have travelled a lot in the last 6 years and I am only finally more settled in Almerimar this year. I know from this experience that at times it is difficult to lead a healthy lifestyle, but it is something that is very important to me.
My work with other people so far has been mainly one to one, which is how I prefer it, as I see diet and fitness as a very personal thing. We are all very different in what we are trying to achieve here and in the other things that are important in our lives!
