Capoeira wedding workout?

I saw this thing on E! today, maybe it was VH1, I dunno. Anyways, they were showing what a great workout capeira is, and it looked like SO much fun! I really need to get in shape for the wedding, and I was wondering if any of you girls every tried it or know where I can go to give it a shot! I'll prob suck at it, but it looks fun

Try TurboJam DVDs with Chalene Johnson. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it and she incorporates some of that style into her work outs, as well as some kickboxing and it's FUN! Check it out... turbo jam

Wow that's awesome! Thanks I'll def give that a shot, but I was really hoping for some in person lessons because:

a) I'm lazy and need to have an actual class to attend to make me go

b) I'm a spaz and need some extra help sometimes

Aw ! I go to Bally's and there aren't any classes that I know of with Capiera (sp?)

Its a great workout...I would call some gyms and ask if any of their instructors incorporate that into their classes.... perhaps NYSC?

My friend has been in Capoeira for about six years now. She attends a class in New Jersey, and there are plenty of classes in NYC. I'm sure if you did a search on the island, you can come up w/something.

I HIGHLY recm'd doing this under an experienced trainer, and not something off a video. You can really get hurt and cause damage to your bones, muscles, and nerves.

FYI - Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art, that includes dance 'moves.'

I will definitely ask her for you. She tried to get me into it, but it requires so much dedication that I simply couldn't 'commit' to...

Thanks SO much, I just can't seem to 'get into' doing any kind of workout without hating it, but I really think I'd like this! My job is pretty flexible so I think I can put the time in

I recommend Turbo Jam videos too...even if you try it once, you never know- you could stick with it!

I just finished doing Punch Kick & Jam and Cardio Party! I need to get more of those DVDs....

ETA: if you buy the videos, get them cheaper off ebay...that's what I did!

So there's a class in Jersey Christine? Could you tell me where? Thanks!!

Thanks for the tip! I'll def look into the videos, I just know myself and I won't do them
