Outdoor fitness workout hill climbing

I am on a hill top having a picnic breakfast with my family.

Hill climbing popular family activity. The winding path from the base of the hill is wide and paved. Parents bring preschool kids up the path for some exercise.

The walk up the hill early in the morning was lovely. The sun’s rays filtered through the trees, bouncing off the fine mist in a spray of golden droplets.

The first time we climbed the hill, it was challenging. The summit was perpetually out of reach. My sons keep going.. Are we there yet?

It gets easier with practice. We sweat buckets climbing up, burn calories and tone our legs.

Getting to the summit gives us a sense of satisfaction. We made it !

The air at the top of the hill is cool and fresh. Gentle breeze. Beautiful scenery. Being close to nature.

Bliss.

Bollywood Dancing

Had my first bollywood dance class and learnt how to really shake my booty.

It was fun actually. The large part of the session was in learning the hand, shoulder and arm movements,which were confusing at first but fun and elegant once we caught on.

This is also where we learn to really shake our booties, jutting out our hips to the max.

Bollywood dancing is like Hollywood golden age musicals where every now and then, the cast break into dance and song. Except in our class it us just the dance, kicks, booty shaking and arm acrobatics to catchy music.

We had lots of laughs along the way.

Good work out for toning the arms, belly and legs without being too strenuous. Worked out a light sweat.

A great form of low impact toning exercise.

For girls and guys too.

This one’s hilarious!
