Brazilify your abs with capoeira, a dance-inspired Brazillian martial arts developed by African slaves more than 400 years ago. The all-encompassing art blends together music, dance, acrobatics and self-defense to create a cohesive and off-the-wall workout.
Practitioners of the fitness dance regimen engage all of your muscle groups, boosts your endurance and helps develop your flexibility, balance and coordination. Capoeira sculpts and tones your entire body without the use of any fitness equipment and instead is a combination of quick and complex moves using power and speed. It sounds like a weird blend of fitness, but it is the perfect mix of being demanding on your body while still being fun. And you don’t need a black belt.
