For how long have you been dancing ? I have always been a fan of dancing . Since teenage years I have been going to discos and clubs mainly to enjoy feeling free and having fun on the dance floor . While in high school I started going on Aerobics trainings , really dynamic and fun . Then in my Bachelor years I continued attending different group trainings for girls - from Yoga and Kalanetics till Tae-Bo , Shaping and different kind of Aerobics . I definitely liked the combination of keeping fit and having fun !
How come you started the classes ? After some years of practising Aerobics I was definitely in a need to attend something similar in Birk . I decided to try to provide classes accessible for the students , so that we didn ’ t have to travel to the centre in order to attend a class of Aerobics or other group training .
Why did you mix dancing and aerobics ? Well , it wasn ’ t hard at all for me to come up with this idea As I said above , I always have been enjoying dancing and combining it with Aerobics can keep people Fit and at the same time let them have fun while doing it .
Can anyone join ? Oh , definitely everybody can join ! There is no need to have any particular experience . Of course , the more you attend the trainings the more you get used to the moves . But also during the training there are some movements who are repeating or some other which are easily grasped .
What is your favourite exercise and why ? My favourite exercise really depends of the music , because some exercises go really good with a particular song . But people who have attended my trainings have definitely noticed that on Lady Gaga ’ s songs I get somehow more inspired
and motivated to do more hardcore movements and exercises . You should attend and you will see it !
Do you follow some diet to keep your body in shape ? To be honest , right now I am not following any , but I am trying to keep some main rules as : Not eating very late and trying to eat crappy food like chips , Mcdonalds and etc . as rare as possible .
Do you have any healthy tips for us ? Healthy Tips - Keep Moving ! Doing sports and other different activities are good for your Body and Soul ! Everybody knows that sport is a good stress reliever ! And of course , watch what you eat . Don ’ t get really obsessed by that , don ’ t torture yourself by some really drastic diets , but eat a little bit of everything . Better more often with small portions and of course - Lots of Water ! And last , but not least - Find what your favourite sport is , because you have to enjoy what you do ! Cheers !
