Year after year, the world of fitness is growing larger than ever before. You see more people focusing on their health and wellness today. However, everyone has different choices in how they want to shed off those extra kilos. And that is why, we have so many new workout trends budding every year.

In a city like Mumbai, we get to try so many new forms of exercise and see even more people getting creative with it. Trying to keep up with them and still maintaining your fitness goals can get quite taxing sometimes. So we have brought to you our favorite (and most effective) workout trends that are taking over Mumbai this year!

Power Garba

Dancercises have been around for a while but the month of September has brought with it a sudden surge in Dandia and Garba classes. Yes, Navratri is around the corner, and what better way to prep for this season than doing these fun-filled folk workouts!

Garba is an ethnic form of dance that originates from Gujarat, the heart of India. It has diversified beats, strong turns and energetic steps. To many, Garba serves the purpose of dance and can be prove to be an easy way to stay fit. Not only does this form help you loose those extra kilos really quickly, but also is a great way to increase your core strength and stamina.

One of the most sought after garba class in Mumbai is ‘Power Garba’. They train instructors in this dance form so this can reach out to more and more people every year.

Address: 305, Ijmima Complex, behind Infinity Mall, Malad(W), Mumbai.

Belly Yoga

If you prefer the movement based workouts as opposed to weight training at the gym, this is what you are looking for!

Belly Dance is a powerful dance form which gives you absolute freedom to be yourself and love your body.  This combined with Yoga makes a fluid combination. They both help strengthen your core and at the same time add a lot of grace to your movements.

Practicing this exercise form in the long run can improve your posture, increase spinal fluidity and flexibility, promote stability and lubrication in the joints and cultivate strong legs.

Zumassa Studio at Kemps Corner really knows how to crack this code with their belly dance specialist, Kanchi Shah. If you enjoy this, she has a few other twists up her sleeve like Belly Jazz, Belly Bolly, and so on.

Address: Zumassa Studio, 1st floor Arvind Chambers, Above Twinkle Collection, Kemps Corner.

Pool Biking/Aqua Cycling

Water babies have found their ideal workout. Even those who don’t swim have now a fearless way they can get into the pool. Spinning of any kind is a rigorous, energy filled workout. Well pool biking is all of that but without the downsides of keeping up with the pace of others and loud blaring music.

Aqua Cycling has a number of benefits like it improves cardiovascular endurance, enhances blood flow, effectively burns cellulite, increases breathing capacity, promoted flexibility and burns 3 times more calories than a normal 45 minute workout session.

Aqua Strength in Bandra is India’s first and only spinning pool studio. It is one of the few places this city has to offer for Water-Based Exercises.

Venue : AquaStrength, Sayed Wadi, Bandra West, Mumbai, Maharashtra

Gyrotonics

It may look like a torture chamber but it is another upcoming trend in this city that people are in love with.

Gyrotonic – a new form of movement and body conditioning – is a system of exercise that simultaneously strengthens and stretches the body, increases flexibility and mobility, and increases your balance and coordination. Combined with specific breathing patterns, the movements release blockages and stimulate the nervous system while improving coordination and increasing both internal and external strength. Done with a rhythm and flow, the body moves through the exercise patterns. One can work gently and restoratively or more vigorously and aerobically by varying speed and/or intensity. The result is increased muscular strength, endurance, range of motion, coordination and balance.

Again, there are very few centers in the city that offer this, like Body Art and The Danceworx. They have state of the art equipments and just the right knowledge to train you as your body requires.

Now that you’ve got the destination, don’t wait to get fit.
