FITNESS buffs who want to connect with their African heritage and burn calories have a new and fun workout option. Caporobics, a high-energy aerobic workout that fuses martial arts, dance and African and Brazilian music, is the latest exercise to explode onto the group fitness circuit.

Capoeira is a afro-brazilian martial arts which includes precise kicks, spins and gravity-defying acrobatic moves. However there are many who want to experience the health benefits from Capoeira minus the contact aspect of the martial arts and its acro movements. Caporobics does just that!!! It uses moves from capoeira like the ginga (pronounced jin-ga), which is the basic movement in the workout that includes four steps, starting with a backward lunge, or back ginga, which progresses into a side turn and a squat, followed by another turn and forward stance. The controlled series of ginga moves create an effective lower-body workout, averaging from 500 to 850 calories per workout, depending on an individual's body type.

COME TRY CAPOROBICS!!!
