Dance Your Way into Shape at Doral Golf Resort & Spa, a Marriott Resort
Spa at Doral's Dance Classes Create Bathing-Suit-Ready Bodies, Reduce Stress, Lowers Blood Pressure & Reduces Risk of Alzheimer's Disease
MIAMI - July 13, 2007 - Dancing is a unique form of exercise that is good for the body and mind, providing heart-healthy benefits of aerobic activity combined with the mental stimulation of engaging in a social activity. With the rise of popular dance-inspired television shows such as "Dancing with the Stars" and "So You Think You Can Dance," moving to the beat is the hottest activity this summer and the most stimulating form of exercise. The immense health benefits, coupled with the TV dance craze, have sparked a Dance Your Way Into Shape program at Doral Golf Resort & Spa, a Marriott Resort. To motivate bodies to get in shape for Florida's eternal bathing suit season, this Miami resort is offering a unique way to cinch waists and stimulate the mind by promoting a series of dance classes.
The award-winning Spa at Doral designed innovative dance classes to get spa-goers twisting and turning to shed unwanted weight. Led by a former Broadway dancer, Caliente is a "hot" way to stay in shape as the rhythm elements of Latin, funk/hip-hop, Afro Caribbean and Jazz are combined to help guests feel the beat while moving their feet. Step Kick & Jam combines dance and cardio kickboxing routines, offering the best workout while learning some fancy footwork. Offered year-round, both 45-minute classes are intended to help guests get down to their ideal size while learning all the right moves for Miami's hottest night spots.
One 21-year study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that dancing can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia in the elderly. There are numerous health benefits to dancing as it is known to lower the risk of coronary heart disease; decrease blood pressure; reduce stress; strengthen leg and hip bones; increase muscle tone, coordination and energy; as well as improve strength.*
Along with these energetic classes, the premier resort is proud to announce a new Pilates studio offering group and individual classic Pilates courses, featuring top of the line Gratz equipment. For those looking to get a high-caliber workout while increasing flexibility and strength, the studio also offers Gyrotonic© services which is one of the latest new exercise regimen in the wellness industry today. To celebrate these new classes, guests will receive 20% off sessions now through August 31, 2007.** Rates for the 60-minute course range from $65-$150 per person.
