I came across this recent blog which has some great fitness tips and features for all of those who love incorporating dance into their fitness regime.  One particular post includes a video workout hosted by Patty Rose, dance and fitness expert.  The quick video routine will help achieve beautiful, long, lean dancer’s legs.

Incorporating dance into aerobic exercise is something I specialise in at Move and Groove; it helps you to burn loads of calories and have plenty of fun at the same time.  So “>here’s the video…enjoy the results!

Pilates is becoming very popular throughout the UK and is becoming the number one exercise class in Basingstoke! Going to a fitness class can be daunting for some people, which is why my number one rule is to make sure Move and Groove classes are always intimidation free and loads of fun for everyone.

My pilates classes are choreographed using the latest revolutionary gliding plate technology that allows smooth, graceful movements that firm, tone and sculpt long, lean beautiful muscles. The sliding motion engages your muscles through a full range of movements that strengthen and lengthen the major muscle groups of your entire body.  You can sculpt your legs, tone your inner and outer thighs, trim your hips and firm and lift your bottom.

Despite being fantastic exercise, pilates classes are low impact which means it’s a great form of exercise for everyone regardless of your fitness level.  My class members often comment on how their flexibility, stamina and general sense of wellbeing has improved, and the weight loss is an obvious benefit as well. 

I’m offering every beginner their first pilates class absolutely free when they visit this blog for a limited period.  If you would like to claim your free beginners lesson please contact me via the blog or e-mail me at: info@moveandgroove.co.uk

 Move and Groove is based in Basingstoke.  It’s all about getting fit, slimming down, toning up and most importantly, having fun!

This blog will give you all the info you need to know about Move and Groove fitness and dance class times and prices, including courses available.

I teach both Dance Fit, Pilates and Street Jazz classes in Basingstoke, using the latest conditioning techniques including revolutionary gliding plates to help you shed pounds and sculpt your body.
