Would you prefer to get Fitter or Fatter ?
Remember the catch phrase: “What melts in the mouth swells in the stomach!”
Just as the Indian festive season fades away, along come Christmas and New Year. Party! Party! Party! Eat, drink and enjoy! Yes enjoy the festive season and the food but limit your intake and keep in mind that you can prevent putting on extra weight by doing exercise to work off that extra food. Go walking, jogging, running, cycling, swimming or aerobics. Regular exercise can become addictive and very enjoyable as well as healthy.
The Auckland Indian Association holds the following activities at the Mahatma Gandhi Centre:
• Bollyrobix: Every Sat 7.30am to 8.30am ($2.00 fee for non AIA members)
• Pilates: Every Mon 6.30pm to 7.15pm. (Fees: $2.00 for members and $5.00 for non-members)
• Walking group: Most Sundays and Thursdays 8.00am start - free
• Workshops - free
Our aim is to help the community. Come and enjoy Bollyrobix (exercise with your favourite bollywood music) and Pilates. What is Pilates?
Pilates is a body conditioning routine that helps to not only build flexibility, but also strength, endurance, and coordination in the legs, abdominals, arms and back (core). The original six principles were: concentration, control, center, flow, precision and breathing. The Pilates method teaches you to be in control of your body and not at its mercy.
Exercises suits people of all ages (men and women). You don’t have to be fit, young or healthy. You can exercise according to your own ability and fitness and it is never too late, but sooner is better. It is an early start but the session will leave you refreshed and energised.
This year we had two very successful workshops on Osteoporosis and Cardiovascular Diseases. Early next year we will be running a workshop on Stroke and Heart Attacks.
On behalf of the AIAI, I would like to sincerely thank ProCare staff specially Ella Kumar who is a trained and experienced Instructor for our exercise classes and Purvi Chhichhia who is conducting workshops.
“Your health is in your hands”.
