Revolutions

The breezy days of winter are over, and hot sunny Seven Mile Beach days are on their way. Is your beach-body ready? The fastest way to get your butt, legs and tummy toned with the minimum number of hours invested is by signing up for spinning classes at Revolutions. There are several options for spinning in the Cayman Islands but only one expert company: Revolutions. Spinning is all they do! They have a studio that is devoted exclusively to providing the best music, best teaching, most fun-per-minute, and most calories per burned per hour of any spinning class in Cayman. I’ve taken spinning in many US cities and I rank Revolutions among the best classes anywhere! Here’s the spinning schedule at Revolutions:

Powerhouse Gym

Are you killing yourself with crunches and not seeing results? First of all, the best abs in the world won’t be visible unless you get rid of excess body fat, and that means cleaning up the diet for good. We all know the drill: cut down on Trans fat, white flour, and white sugar. Eat more fruits and veggies, lean protein, whole grains, and low fat dairy products. Eating clean doesn’t have to be boring. Check out yummy recipes at www.eatcleandiet.com. You will find recipes like Baked Apples with Walnut-Oat Stuffing, Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Soup, and Crispy Chicken Bites. You might be tempted to buy Tosca Reno’s wonderful book, The Eat Clean Diet, which is packed with tasty recipes that will help you get your body fat under control. I picked up my copy at The Book Nook in the Galleria Plaza on West Bay Road. (345) 945-4686

The second part of sculpting six-pack abs is mastering the art of proper sit ups. It’s easy to do them wrong and completely waste your efforts.  Get a bikini belly fast with the Awesome Abs Class at Powerhouse Gym, in King’s Sports Centre. Awesome Abs targets the upper, lower and oblique abdominal muscles.

How tough can it be, a whole class that’s for just one muscle group ? Tough. Brutally tough. As in “hurts-to-laugh-for-three-days” tough. It’s a fantastic way to learn the right way to do sit ups and crunches.

Awesome Abs Class  Tuesdays & Thursdays 6:30-7:00 PM

Flow-Therapeutic Studio

If toning up your body is topping your New Year’s Resolution List, consider adding yoga to your workout regime. Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna attribute their long, lean physiques to their regular yoga practices. There are many options for yoga in Grand Cayman, but my personal favorite is Flow~Therapeutic Movement, owned by Kate Dunne. Tucked into a rambling private orchard, the airy studio is just moments away from busy Crewe Road but seems like it’s miles out in the country side. The cork floors, white gauzy curtains and flowing breezes make this inviting studio a haven from everyday stress.

Flow~ offers massage therapy as well as yoga and therapeutic movement instruction. Kate has over 18 years of experience and is a highly trained therapeutic movement specialist. Kate has made a lifetime commitment to bringing the best of ancient and modern techniques of addressing body movement to her clientele.

I’m currently taking an 8 week session of vinyasa flow yoga classes. Dawn Eryou is the talented instructor leading the flow sessions. Dawn hails from Canada, and has been with Flow~Therapeutic Movement for since fall 2007. She earned her Interdisciplinary YOGA certification through the Nosara Institute in Cost Rica. Dawn is a warm, caring instructor who is clearly devoted to helping her students get the most out of their yoga practice. After just three weeks, I am noticing increased core strength. The best benefit is the terrific sense of well being that I get after every single class. Walking out into the fragrant orchard, muscles warmed and mind cleared, I am grateful that Flow~Therapeutic is in the Cayman Islands.
