BOLLYFIT
In talks with Reema. She has performed in many music
videos, including for MTV. Reema has performed BOLLWOOD and BOLLYFIT Dance
performances internationally for large festivals, weddings and corporate events
in Dubai, Singapore, Spain, Phuket and New York.
Q. Tell us a little bit about
your personal journey as a fitness coach and choreographer?
I have been training in different genres of dance and
fitness since I have been in school, including training in multiple dance forms
including the Flamenco, Latin dances, Tango, Jazz and Modern Dance at Arthur
Murray Dance Studios in New York, San Francisco and Delhi School of Music.
I have international experience and training in the Fitness Industry in
the US, Australia and in South East Asia. I have trained in multiple dance
forms including the Flamenco, Latin dances, Tango, Hip-hop, Bollywood, Jazz,
Kathak, Bhangra and Modern Dance at Arthur Murray Dance Studios in New York,
San Francisco, Arts In Motion Dance Studio Mumbai, The Delhi School of Music
& The Bhartiya Kala Kendra. I recently performed in the MTV-PNC (Pritish
Nandy Communications) Music Video Promo, aired recently on MTV.
I am also one of the leading
Fitness Dancer & Choreographer in the country. I have conceptualized and
launched the‘BOLLYFIT’ Dance Program, which is a fusion of scintillating and sophisticated
Bollywood and fitness dance moves, which are carefully synchronized to popular
Bollywood music. It’s the only one of its kind fitness dance choreography which
gives you the amazing thrill of Bollywood dancing along with the fun
combination of international dance aerobics and step dance aerobic moves to
your favorite fast paced Bollywood music!
I have also organized Fitness Dance Shows, including
at the Youth Nexus Festival’ for Reebok, sponsored by HT City in Delhi, for the
DRDO (Defense Research Organization of India), ‘Dublin Night-Club’ in Delhi,
‘Venom Lounge’ in Hyderabad, amongst others.
Birth of BOLLYFIT
I was finding that our people were getting
increasingly fitness conscious, and are constantly looking for new, innovative
and fun ways to work out, lose weight, without getting bored. It was also
around that time, that Bollywood and ‘indipop’ music underwent a huge change
and became more in sync with international sound and faster beats, which also
gave birth to ‘Bollywood remix’ music and new Bollywood dance choreographies,
all of which became a huge hit globally. So I experimented and conceptualized
BOLLYFIT, a vigorous fitness dance exercise which is a fusion of Bollywood,
bhangra, flamenco, modern contemporary, jazz and hip-hop dance steps with
international dance aerobics, step dance aerobics and cardio kick-boxing moves
to Bollywood music at 200 beats per minute (bpms), the fastest in the fitness
dance industry globally!
The calorie burning exercises ensure that you get a
real workout without feeling the burden of exercise. The vigorous dance moves
work out each and every muscle in your body in a very distinct way, giving you
a well balanced full body workout, which help you de-stress and unwind as you
workout .

Q. What do you love about your
work?
I am super passionate about Dancing, Bollywood Music
and Fitness, and it is very rewarding when you see people appreciate you and
your creation, which in my case is my BOLLYFIT program. I am a people’s person,
and I love interacting with adults, students, children and doing BOLLYFIT and
Bollywood Dance Workshops with them. I love the stage, music and the euphoria
of big shows and my work is just that.
Q. How does dance compare with
other fitness routines like yoga, running or working out at a gym?
DANCING is a huge CALORIE BURNER. Be it Bollywood,
Disco, Modern Dancing, Jazz, Hip-hop, Salsa, Samba, Flamenco or Break-dance –
all of them involve a mix of fast (high impact) and moderate (low impact)
cardio, muscle toning and fat burn moves. Infact, industry research shows that
one can burn between anything above 200 calories with just 30 minutes of dancing,
which means you can burn nearly 400 calories per hour! What could be a
better way to shed the love handles and the extra pounds than dancing to your
favorite ‘Bollywood’, ‘Rock’, ‘Indipop’, ‘Western pop’, ‘Techno’ or ‘Reggae’
music atleast once a week.
Q. What are the benefits of
joining the Bollyfit Program that you founded?
BOLLYFIT is a vigorous dance workout and a fantastic
fusion of scintillating and sophisticated Bollywood, Bhangra, Salsa Flamenco,
Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk and Modern dance moves with international Dance Aerobics,
Step-Dance Aerobics and Cardio Kick-Boxing moves to your favorite Bollywood,
Bhangra and Indipop Remix music at 200 beats per minute (bpms), the fastest in
the dance and fitness industry globally! BOLLYFIT is an intense calorie burner
and provides a great workout, burning anything from 500 – 700 calories!
BOLLYFIT is for everyone – men, girls, children!
The calorie burning exercises ensure that you get a
real workout without feeling the burden of exercise. The vigorous dance moves
work out each and every muscle in your body in a very distinct way, giving you
a well balanced full body workout, which help you de-stress and unwind as you
workout.
BOLLYFIT has glamorized
‘fitness’ in India and abroad as it is the first fitness dance program to be
taught in nightclubs and discotheques, which has been a great hit, as for the
first time, a fitness workout has moved out from Gyms and Fitness Clubs, to
Nightclubs. Also, being and actor, model and a dancer, I have conceptualized
BOLLYFIT shows! BOLLYFIT sculpts your body like a Dancer’s’ and is a sure shot
calorie burner. The fitness dance moves work out each and every muscle in your
body in a very distinct way, all very addictive and help you actually de-stress
and unwind as you workout.
“My classes are fun, high energy, fast paced and
rejuvenating. ‘It is actually not just about losing weight, but about keeping
fit; improving flexibility, stamina, endurance, strength and leading a
high-energy life. People join the ‘BOLLYFIT’ Program to work out in high energy
and power filled group fitness classes.”
Q. What lifestyle advise for
the Facebook, fast food & colas generation?
My advice to Gen X is that Intense cardio exercise
routines, ideally 30 – 40 minutes, at least 3 – 4 times a week, with a
combination of strength training exercises for your arms and legs and floor
workouts for toning your abdominal and Gluteus muscles for another 20
minutes. The combination of the above is has proven to be very effective
and will give you excellent results in just a few weeks!
Do change your cardio workouts at least twice a week
to incorporate Running, Power Walking, Cycling, Swimming, Aerobics and other
cardio workouts with Gym machines. Remember; never let your body get used
to any one type of work out. For effective weight loss and fitness, you need to
keep surprising your muscles with new types of fat burn exercises which have
proven to give far greater results in a relatively shorter duration of time.
For Dance Aerobic workouts, the latest trend is to
keep the moves simple and yet interesting as opposed to complicated
choreography. To get the maximum out of your workouts, choose your favorite
music and songs, with fast beats and good rhythm (at least 140 beats per
minute). Fantastic upbeat music is a true energy booster and believe me it will
simply do wonders to motivate you and make you workout to your optimum
potential.
Enjoy yourself and let your music work you out!
Enjoy yourself and let your music work you out!
Keep your diet wholesome and healthy – Diet should be
high in Protein with some Complex Carbohydrates, Fruits, Vegetables; LOW in
fat, fried foods, deserts and processed foods. Last but not the least, keep
your system hydrated and flushed! So your water should significantly high –
atleast 8 glasses per day if not more!
And if you really want to drop weight – Cut out
Alcohol and reduce EXCESS SALT intake. And watch the phenomenal Results!
So folks, keep your DIET HEALTHY & your FITNESS
REGIME & WORKOUTS INTERESTING. Enjoy your work-outs with lots of good
music; keep the ‘FITNESS IS FUN’ spirit alive!
