“Hybrid” fitness: what is it?

If you want to always be in good shape and not gain extra pounds, hurry to the gym. Let's figure out what new fitness trends are becoming popular.

Piloxing

A mixture of Pilates, boxing and dancing - what could be more effective? The “mother” of this trend is the Swede Viveca Jensen, who spent a long time recovering with the help of Pilates after a serious operation - her ligaments were torn.

Upon completion of rehabilitation, Viveka could not give up Pilates, which she already loved, and decided to combine all the areas of sports and fitness that she had been involved in in her life. This is how piloxing appeared - a hybrid of Pilates, boxing and dancing. In the exclusive sports studio of slender Swedes, not only mere mortals, but also Hollywood stars - Hilary Duff, Avril Lavigne, Victoria's Secret models - "sweat", jump, swing boxing gloves and do the splits.

The advantages of this direction:

1. You can burn up to 900 calories in 30 minutes of intense exercise.
2. Perfect posture
3. Beautiful waist
4. The abs you've dreamed of your whole life
5. Relief hands
6. Increased flexibility

The golden rule of piloxing is not to skip training and stick to a strict schedule. If you dream of an ideal body, go to the gym. More than 100 piloxing studios have already opened in America and Northern Europe.

Tangolates

The “mother” of this trend is Argentine socialite and popular fitness instructor Tamara di Tella. It was she who found many similarities between tango and Pilates: emphasis on a straight back, ideal posture, stretching and back muscles. From a young age, Tamara sought to introduce progressive ideas of the West into the strict society of Buenos Aires, and she succeeded 100 percent!

Lovers of everything new and different from the rest come in orderly rows to numerous tangopilates studios. The successful and famous have trusted this direction: Sting and his wife, Bryan Adams and Salma Hayek would not exchange their favorite hybrid direction for anything.

The advantages of this direction:

1. Perfect posture and a strong back
2. Tangolates is “prescribed” for people with nervous system disorders
3. This area of ​​fitness is ideal for rehabilitation

A hybrid of capoeira and Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga

The “father” of this trend is the sultry handsome Carlos Rodriguez, who hones the ideal bodies of Hollywood stars and only the most famous and charismatic singers. However, when you go into Rodriguez's studio, you must be fully aware that there is no turning back. An intense workout can burn a thousand calories, if, of course, you find the strength to withstand such an inhuman load.

2. Dynamic yoga movements alternate with basic acrobatic movements and capoeira jumps

Rodriguez's golden rule - the ability to concentrate and endurance - allows you to manage your own energy and direct it in the right direction. Lady Gaga and Madonna plan to fit Rodriguez's workouts into their busy schedules. Now it's your turn!

Body Jam

Cardio training, consisting of several dance styles (funk, Latin, house and hip-hop), is suitable for both overactive teenagers and mature people. Body Jam allows you to relax, feel the rhythm and enjoy the dance. Interestingly, the music and choreography of Body Jam is updated every three months: the first month is designed for learning exercises and dance sequences, the second is for honing your skills, and in the third month you can fully enjoy your choreographic talents and just dance.

However, Body Jam, in addition to musical and choreographic satisfaction, is also useful due to fairly intense physical activity.
