The Holidays are a time to celebrate, and boy, do we make the most of it. We eat, we drink, we indulge and then we end up feeling like bloated whales by the time it’s all over. Eating yourself into a coma seems inevitable during the holidays. What with all the yummy delights available. You don’t have to let every party become your own personal eating contest, and you don’t have to let shopping take the place of your usual exercise routine. All it takes is flexibility and creativity. However you deal with the holidays, make sure this year that you don’t gain extra weight.
Every year, almost everyone starts the New Year with a promise to improve themselves in one way or another. For some it’s looking for a new job, for others it’s getting over a bad year. We are all painfully aware of the less than healthy life we live, but for most it’s a resolve to lose something from our lifestyle, be it weight, smoking, drinking or just changing the poor lifestyle in general. One or all of our promises have an excuse, “it gets dark early so I can’t go walking”, “there’s nowhere to walk”, “walking is boring”, or maybe it’s just “ah one won’t hurt”, but it does. As we all know one leads to many and right back to last year’s lifestyle. That’s why you should start your year with Unity Fitness & Dance, get an extremely energetic and uplifting start to your year with us in Wales; this can lead to big achievements!
Salsa dancing is slowly emerging as a refreshing replacement for conventional aerobic exercises. Likewise fitness classes based on the fiery music and movements of Salsa, Zumba, Mambo and more are starting to get people interested in exercising again. Salsa music first appeared on the music scene in the 1960s as a rhythmic fusion, birthed by the cultural melting of New York City with Latin tradition of Cuba. Salsa’s popularity began to percolate beyond the borders of Latin neighbourhoods in the early seventies and has since spread across the globe at a speed that is as spontaneous and as lively as its accompanying music. By integrating salsa dancing into your weekly fitness regime you will not only get fit and look great, but you’ll have no excuse not to get out more and improve your social life!
Unity Fitness & Dance weekends offer a host of classes including, Salsa, Reggaton, Partner Salsa, Urban Funk, 70’s Revival aerobics, Step, Boxing, Circuits, Aqua, Khai-Bo, Spin, Pilates, Yoga and then for those who need a further challenge join the party after dinner and practice all those moves learnt during the day into the small hours of the morning. Our weekends are designed to get your spirit jazzed up again and to teach you many different ways to stay fit and healthy. It is important to cross train so that your training never becomes boring, but more importantly it lessens the chance of injury. If you are constantly performing the same exercises the same muscles and joints are continually under pressure and your unused muscles become weaker you therefore are creating an imbalance in the body and this is where injuries may start to appear. Join us and infuse your lifestyle with so much choice you’ll realise there is something different to do everyday that you can enjoy and take the ‘must’ out of going to the gym.
The team at Unity Fitness & Dance has made it their mission to revolutionise the current frightening trends of childhood obesity and unhealthiness of today’s society. By making fitness fun for young ones with entertaining and interactive games and classes, the team aim to re-educate children on how to lead a happy and healthy lifestyle from a very early age, leaving you the parent plenty of hours to fill with fitness and dance classes of your choice. Our weekends cater for families as easily as it does for individuals. We believe that the key to encouraging more children to take up exercise is to ensure they participate in physical activity at an early age. It is necessary for children to have some exercise to burn off energy; without having much interference from an adult, and while burning energy, exercise helps in fighting against obesity in children. Once they develop a habit of an hour of exercise everyday, this habit will be carried over to their adulthood which proves to be very beneficial. To many adults, exercising is difficult because of insufficient time and just sheer laziness. However, if exercise is cultivated from childhood, they don't find it as an intrusion to their daily schedule. With exercise, the child not only develops a healthy body, but also a healthy mind, wherein they learn to interact with others, this helps the child learn and develop valuable skills that last a lifetime.
Another thing that we need to understand is that intense exercise can often cause injury as the body is pushed beyond its normal limit. However, with a sensible training regime it is possible to minimise the risk. Most individuals do not hesitate to seek expert advice from an accountant, car mechanic or doctor, but when it comes to their exercise goals they choose to go it alone or listen to the whispered advice of others, which may result in injury and the inevitable quitting of your new year’s resolution (which leads right back to the old lifestyle). Whether you are a novice or an elite athlete our professional team of fitness and dance trainers will help you to maximise your potential by designing your classes to suit your level. We will help you find the right road and make sure that the way is bright enough for you to reach your goal. Stay strong, stay true and remain focused to your new goal. Don’t be swayed by the lazy work colleague who does nothing outside of work but go frequently to the take away, or the sometime friend who will be so disappointed if you don’t show at their house party. Don’t let temptation win - be true to you. There is be only one person who can get credit for your changing and there’s only one that can accept blame for failure! Each of us is capable of so much more than we believe.
