Hip Hop Fitness Monday at 7:45pm!

While running, jogging and walking may be more popular forms of exercise, hip hop dance can be used as a fun alternative to help you achieve aerobic and anaerobic benefits. The aerobic benefits occur as a cardio exercise that gets your heart pumping and your breathing rate up. The anaerobic benefits occur as you strengthen your thighs, glutes, calves and other muscles in your legs and arms. Best of all, hip hop dance puts less of an impact on your feet and knees so you give your body a new way of working out. The fast-paced workout that comes with doing hip hop dance is something that can be very beneficial to your body. You don’t have to appreciate hip hop music in order to get the benefits of a class, either. Come prepared to move your body in new ways and get aerobic and anaerobic results right away. This high energy class uses the latest sounds in rap, R&B and pop music. Break, pop and lock!

Hip Hop Fitness is lead by Amber.

Amber is super excited to be joining the amazing team at EquiVita! Amber’s love for dance started at the age of three. Growing up Amber studied multiple styles of dance in both Columbus and New York City, and received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from Wright State University. Amber’s love of Zumba came about after having her baby girl in January of 2010. She was looking for a fitness class in which she could work off her baby “padding”, as well as fulfill her artistic outlet in dance.
