Bollywood

Bollywood is likely to be better known as movies showing it have proliferated in recent years. Hindu dancers appear, moving their colorful clothes and bodies to the rhythm of very rhythmic music. Specifically, it is a not particularly active rhythmic dance that keeps the body in tension without going from one place to another. Like all dance or exercise from the East, there is a physical part but also a mental part. According to the most experienced dancers, an incredible connection between body and mind is achieved that leads to a state of continuous inner peace.

The benefits are achieved by performing muscle movements but without stopping to move so that he is constantly active. It is the perfect way to start in physical activities that require a certain capacity for movement but without being demanding in terms of the initial physical form.

Zumba

Zumba is a new form of sport. The word comes from Colombia and means to move fast and have fun. The basis is in Latin music that allows to generate a routine of intense cardiovascular exercise and toning exercises to achieve a definition of the silhouette. In this way, it combines resistance training with interval training (high cardiovascular intensity followed by a decrease in the same intensity with a reduction in heart rate). This combined routine increases caloric intake by burning calories and toning muscles. The type of dance is a mix between merengue, salsa, reggaeton, mambo, rumba and some more.

It is a modality that requires a minimum of background, so at the beginning it may be difficult to reach a level that allows a whole class to be followed but, once achieved, the body undergoes great changes both in terms of weight and appearance.

Pole dancing

Pole dancing mixes dance and gymnastics. There are those who have some qualms about practicing this type of physical activity since it reminds us of the "strippers" of a strip club but it is not like that. It is a very healthy exercise that involves the "sensual" part of the technique that attracts both men and women.

With regard to physical health, pole dance provides a clear benefit in terms of flexibility, strength, endurance and cardiovascular improvement. The exercises that are practiced require strong muscles on a global level. The muscles of the trunk, legs and arms are worked. With a vertical bar, an improvement in flexibility is sought that will provide muscle benefits avoiding possible injuries or problems due to muscle weakness. cardiovascular work is not only aerobic but it is also anaerobic, as it seeks to improve endurance.

Training camp

The Training camp or Boot camp is a discipline based on the routines used in military training. These routines can be practiced in sports centers but there are some that are carried out outdoors, like “military maneuvers”. They are programs designed to demand the maximum from each individual on a physical level. Its premise would be "maximum demand, maximum benefits".

Broadly speaking, it seeks a global and complete improvement at a physical and mental level since cohesion and teamwork are part of the motivation. During a session you can run, jump, do sit-ups and push-ups, perform strength exercises and even dispute a match in pairs. All these activities are carried out at a progressive speed to improve agility and through circuits with different levels of difficulty to train progressively.

It is a very complete activity that requires physical and mental capacity and those who are "hooked" say that any other activity may seem boring.

Aquajogging

Aquajogging combines running and. It is about running in the water, whether in a pool or in the sea. It is clear that it is not about running kilometers and kilometers, and managing to cut times, but it is about running. The technique varies because you neither step on footwear nor can you move as you would on land. The stride in this case must be short and fast to intensify the routine. The heart rate has been found to be up to 10% lower in water than when running outside.

In general, “aquajogging” is practiced by injured athletes as “cross training”, which is nothing more than being able to continue training after an injury but developing the activity in another environment, in this case aquatic, which allows them to continue training. activity without affecting the injured area. Water offers resistance so that it consists of running against it in order to strengthen the muscles and gain power from the heart system.

The necessary material is a belt, usually made of EVA (neoprene), as a float that allows a certain level of flotation to be able to imitate the race technique.
