ZumFit and AquaFit Classes!

Several friends and readers have requested for a combined update for ease of reference of my upcoming classes that I instruct so here it is for those interested.

Read up about what ZumFit classes are about HERE.

ZumFit is a latin inspired cardio fitness dance class set against infectious spanish & international music. Move to the beat with a little cumbia, salsa, merengue, cha cha, bellydance and reggaetton.

Email me at honeymeow@gmail.com to enquire about class rates, space availability and for registration forms.

There is an upcoming ZumFit trial class this coming Monday 18th of May 09 at 815pm at Dance on Us Studios at No. 8 Claymore Point, Claymore Hill. (Trial class OVER & Completed - Details HERE.)

It is a 5 minute walk behind Pacific Plaza/Shaw Centre at Orchard. Map to location can be found HERE.

Official ZumFit sessions start on Friday, 29th of May 09 at 815pm - 915pm. Every Friday from then on. Limited space left. Registration is on a first come first serve basis.

More AquaFit enquiries have been coming in. Thank you for your interests! I currently only conduct corporate classes at the moment. I may have some upcoming private condominium morning classes starting mid June so my schedule is filling out quite nicely.

If your company/organisation/residence has a pool or can book a pool that is suitable for Aqua Fitness use and want to put together a class. Email me and lets talk about it. honeymeow@gmail.com

I use Aqua Noodles for most of my classes. More information about Aqua Aerobics can be found HERE. Aquatic exercise is a low-impact activity that takes the pressure off your bones, joints and muscles. Water offers natural resistance, which helps strengthen your muscles. You can even do aquatic exercise if you don't know how to swim.

Aqua Fitness is not limited to the old or those in rehabilitation! It can be a very fun low impact class for men, women and children alike! Sometimes we play games, do circuit training and sometimes water therapy which can be really relaxing too!

Enquire about my AquaFit kids program if you have kids who are interested. For kids aged 8-14 years. Minimum class size. 15 kids to start. :)

Aqua Fit Adults program are for teens 15 & up and Adults of all ages.

Email me at honeymeow@gmail.com for details. I can pool the current enquiries together and if there are sufficient that would agree to one location, we can start that class so if you want to join, drop me a note. Tata!

--------------------------

PLUS!! We also have Karate Classes for Adults & Kids too! Anyone interested in private lessons/tournament training/group training, email me to enquire.

CJ has 21 years Karate training & has been coaching since 1994 with Certified National Coach qualifications. Current coaching references includes West View Primary, Overseas Family School and Singapore Management University.

Random Discoveries from the Past...

I was doing some online trawling this evening and stumbled upon several amusing finds from the past... all of which I had forgotten but apparently still lives on in cyberspace..

First off... everyone knows my husband aka CJ is a Karate Coach. He teaches Adults, Teens and Children and comes with 21 years experience with National Coach qualifications.

This video was taken in 2008 with him in his Sunday Kids class and who else was in the class but our daughters!!

I've always marvelled at his "horse stance" which never seems to waver like he's really sitting on a chair?! And Lauren looks so cute in her little "dogi" aka Karate uniform.

And of course, I have my youngest, Eirian and here she is! *Looks fondly - only one year back and they have grown so much!!*

And then I did some more checking under my name just to see what the net had any surprises in store under my name search and guess what popped out?

Back in 2006 and early 2007, I was working in a Marketing position in Executive Development in a Design School. It so happens that CJ currently lectures there on graphic design software and production methodologies now. Anyway... Marketing Magazine back then held some interviews which brought to highlight some of the programs that I was working to market and together with those, some quotes, mentions and a picture of me in 2007. *gah!*

The details of the screen shot below can be found HERE.

And then another interview about private educational institutions where I had a mention towards my view of Professional Development for young adults. Details of the screenshot can be found HERE.

I don't know about you but I find it quite amusing to read published text of what I said to the media. So have you googled your name lately? What have you found that amused you?

ZumFit Class Schedule (Update!)

Good news! With much persuasion, blood, sweat & tears *chuckle*... Friday classes now commence at a lovely time of 815pm - 915pm. *yay*

For those who want to know what ZumFit is about.. please go to THIS POST.

So for the majority who have mentioned that the previous timing of 715pm is tight for you after Fridays work, I believe this would be perfect for most now.

Friday 815pm - 915pm Classes:
29th May - 5th June - 19th June - 26th June - 3rd July - 10th July - 17th July - 24th July - 31st July - 7th August - 14th August - 21st August

Classes will continue from these dates too but the above are for your planning reference.

Regular Monday Classes are now on a pending commencement as majority of participants are now on trial.

There will be ONE SESSION next week on 18th of May 2009, 815pm for those interested in a trial session, however, participants who sign on with a package after next Monday will be slotted in for Friday 815pm classes for the next 12 weeks commencing 29th May 09.

Should I find that there is a greater demand and registration which would prove it feasible for me to start an alternate evening of the week, I will let everyone know in due time.

In the meantime, SPREAD THE WORD! Come join me to shake your booty with a little salsa, a little cumbia, a little merengue and a whole lot of reggaetton. :)

For now, I have still have space for people who may be interested to come next monday or sign up for Friday classes before we hit class capacity for Friday. Spread the news please!

Bootyshakingly Yours,
Pam

Shooting Star - Happy Slip

I have been following Christine aka Happy Slip for some time now. She's absolutely hilarious and I find it EVEN MORE hilarious because she depicts the little idiosyncracies of what being a filipino or part filipino is that can be totally hilarious.

From the accent, to the characters which I can definitely relate to as being part of my family, with the different topics and issues that she covers.. absolutely top notch and hits the spot exactly! I can never stop sniggering... its just how it is! If you haven't watched her before, go check it out! Very entertaining!

One of many things that everyone knows what filipinos are good for is their.. SINGING and DANCING.. and I've always wondered.. Is it only because I'm half Spanish Filipina that I've gotten only half the talent combo? I can dance but I can't sing? *cough* Very calculative arh!* :( But, I'm thankful for what I'm blessed with. Thank you Lord.

Anyway, Christine composed a song here for a friend who passed on and I think its fantastic and absolutely heartfelt and she has a pretty awesome voice too.. So check it out.. Enjoy!~

Cristian Castro & David Bisbal Rocks!!

On this Sunday morning, I was reviewing my tracks that I have set out for my ZumFit classes and those tracks that I listen in on the train when I'm out and thought I'd share them with you.

This track is by Cristian Castro and is my cool down song during my classes. This is called "Despues De Ti".... Enjoy. :)

Ave Maria by David Bisbal is one of my favourite pick up songs. I love the energy of songs like this and it adds the hop to my step when I walk towards the MRT station.

And I love the energy of the people partying in the video too! My kinda party and my kind of dancing too! :) Because of the fast tempo of this track, I will only be doing this track at a much later time during the class sessions where I feel that everyone can keep up to a faster pace.

Azul by Cristian Castro is my warm up track. I totally love this merengue track! You would see me singing this track every day. Another feel good song and I absolutely feel GOOD when I hear it! :)

This is the Karaoke version of Azul where I learn my lyrics because I make it a point to know the lyrics of songs I like and so I can sing along when the song plays.. Enjoy! :)
