7 Winter Running Tips
Winter running comes with certain risks, according to Bruce Bowen, manager of the Halifax Running Room. Discover the tips you need to ensure a safe run.
Cirque du Soleil performers wow audiences all the time with their breathtaking movements which require much muscle strength and endurance. Now you too can twist, bend and hop around with the newest fitness craze to hit the gym: jukari.
Cirque du Soleil and Reebok have joined forces to create a fitness workout that’s reminiscent of those childhood days when you soared on the backyard swing set. A trained instructor leads participants through a session of “jukari”—a circus-inspired activity that combines strength, endurance and cardio training—to the beat of invigorating music.
With the jukari “flyset”—cables that hang from the ceiling and pivot 360 degrees, with adjustable loops and a steel-bar attachment—the routines are ever changing. So get ready to hop, balance, twist and turn.
Besides having fun, participants build muscle mass and improve balance and flexibility. Jukari is available in 14 cities worldwide, including New York, Buenos Aires and Montreal.
To see video footage of a jukari workout, and to request jukari classes for your gym, visit Reebok’s jukari website.
