Burn the calories

- by Aditi Pai

With the mercury rising fast, it’s time to skip the morning jogs and move indoors for your daily dose of calorie burning.

If you’re bored of the dumbbells and treadmill routine in the gym, head to a Zumba class instead. “Ditch the workout, join the party” says the instructor Monnika Nair as you walk into the mirrored-- walled Space Studio. As you rush to join the group of eight, foottappin­g beats start playing, building the mood and tempo for a rigorous, but fun, workout session. Soon, the music turns into a mix of Merengue, Cumbia, Salsa and Reggaeton rhythms, quickly speeding up the pace of the moves. You realise that you don’t need to know the basics of dance; just match steps with the instructor and concentrat­e on your breathing.

From toning sessions to aqua zumba, there’s a lot on offer if you want to dance your way to fitness. Cost Rs 1500 per month At Space Studio, opposite PCMC Building, Pimpri Tel 9975215150
