Today, the term ‘Bollywood’ is one of the most popular terms, used for marketing almost anything to the masses. However, who would have thought that ‘Fitness’ to would be associated with it!
Well that’s right! Conceptualized and choreographed by me, ‘Bollywood Aerobics’ was fitst launched in Mumbai. More popularly known as the ‘Bollyfit Program’, this vigorous exercise routine consists of scintillating and sophisticated dance aerobics steps, which are carefully synchronized to popular bollywood remix numbers.
However, not all bollywood songs are used for these classes, as it is required for them to be increased considerably in speed to be suitable for the fast American aerobic moves!
This was further explained by Reema, who said that “My classes are high energy and fast paced. Hence, each song that I use for my classes, is carefully, chosen and tested at increased speeds of 120 -130 beats per minute (bpms), which is the average speed of my fun Aerobic classes. For my Step Aerobic classes, I use songs remixed at 100 bpms, as this exercise routine requires songs at slightly slower beats per minutes.
And where are these special ‘Bollyfit classes’ being taught currently? Well, only in Hyderabad, as that is where Reema is currently based. Over the past couple of years, Reema has many organized Fitness Dance Shows, including a performance at the ‘Youth Nexus Festival’, sponsored by HT City in Delhi, where she did an amazing Step Aerobics dance choreography to the popular number ‘Mahi Ve’! Subsequently, Reema made a ‘Bollyfit’ music video, which is available for your viewing on www.reemafitness.com
And has all this been easy we asked her!
“Oh its never easy’ confesses Reema, who added that “It always takes many days and hours of practice to match the right moves to the right song, and to ensure that one gets a good workout, by teaching a well balanced exercise routine, consisting both of high impact and as well low impact aerobic moves.”
“Well, let’s face it”, she smiles and says, “This is the next big innovative thing in fitness that is already helping to popularize dance aerobic classes, and hence encouraging people to exercise. Reema says the moves are easily followed by both men and women, as these are classic aerobic moves, with a slight dance twist to them, making them distinct from all other aerobic classes. “Moreover, this whole concept have made my classes fun, different and ofcourse, they come at a premium price.”
And where do we go from here? “Well, all I can say is that, Aerobics has certainly come a long way. From being taught to the predetermined aerobic music, to ‘bollywood remixes’ and other popular kinds of music. Today, I teach ‘Rock Aerobic’, ‘Pop Aerobic’ and marathon advanced ‘Trance Aerobic classes’, which are all very addictive, as you just de-stress and unwind as you workout.”
Oh and to answer your question on ‘Where do we go from here?’ “Who knows” says Reema. With my high energy level and flexibility, maybe the next big thing for me could be performing in a ‘music video’! Again, who knows, but for now, it’s Long Live Bollywood Aerobics!
