BollyworX now in Papatoetoe
It’s official. BollyworX has come to Papatoetoe. With the amazing success of BollyworX in New Lynn and Mt Roskill where weekly classes are run, SPROUT has successfully launched the Bollywood music based fitness phenomenon last month at the ISSO temple in Papatoetoe. BollyworX is SPROUT's popular weekly group workout for South Asian families.
The ‘Swasth Jeevan’ initiative of Counties Manukau District Health Board has made this physical activity opportunity possible for South Asians in the Manukau area. SPROUT in collaboration with ISSO temple is providing the weekly BollyworX in Papatoetoe.
BollyworX is a “Work out” based on Bollywood music which will burn calories, build, tone and sculpt muscle, perk up stamina and endurance levels. BollyworX is designed to give an awesome cardio workout and help in developing balance, posture and core strength and challenge co-ordination and mental agility. Most of all it will make you feel so good that you won't even realise you're exercising! No dance experience is required because this is not a dance. BollyworX is not dance but a workout that everyone can enjoy without feeling self-conscious it’s suitable for all ages and fitness levels and you can start anytime. Typically a BollyworX session plays about 10 to 12 songs for workouts.
The many participants who enjoyed the full-body workouts, also got the opportunity to get their weight, hip to waist ratio measured. For those who continue, there will be periodic measurements. During these sessions SPROUT will also organize nutrition sessions and promote active lifestyle. All for free. BollyworX is run by Netfit trained community coaches who are committed to make a difference at the grass roots level.
BollyworX is a registered trademark of Sports Recreation and Outdoors Trust (SPROUT) a grassroots community health organisation which is an action oriented, charitable, voluntary and non-profitable trust. SPROUT aims to educate, encourage, promote and provide opportunities in sports, recreation, outdoor pursuits and balanced nutrition to achieve greater wellbeing for people of South Asian origin in New Zealand.
A recent health assessment of Indians in Auckland shows that our key health risks are cardiovascular disease (CVD), Type-2 Diabetes, Obesity etc and one of the key reasons is a sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity. BollyworX is a culturally appropriate program to help overcome these health risks.
BollyworX instructors Amanda says “The good thing about BollyworX is that it is addictive and on the average calorie burn is from 200-400 calories per one hour class depending on the intensity of the class and of course, how hard you work out.”
Vidya one of the BollyworX instructors says BollyworX appeals to the Indian community as the music is familiar, catchy and whole families can take part. "Even my Mum and people in our community think it's really easy and they see they can achieve good fitness.
Deepti Masarani is a regular participant at the New Lynn classes says "Frankly, I'm not a gym person but I knew I needed to work out and it was fun and I wanted to continue with it." The 43-year-old says she's since introduced several friends to BollyworX. "They thank me all the time and they go regularly now. Its Indian music but I think all cultures can enjoy it.
