Ready to get moving, Detroit? This week, we’re all about the different ways to get your heart pumping in the community. After all, summer is around the corner — and you’ll need new friends to spend the warm months with!
From belly dancing to good ol’ faithful walking, here are four ways you can enjoy fitness in the D. See you in class!
💃 Find your rhythm on Wednesdays at an outdoor belly dance fitness class at Asibara Forest. Embrace movement and maybe laugh at yourself in the fresh air. You can also learn to Shimmy on Sundays. $17.85.
💪 Get those muscles working at a strength training class at Motor City Street Dance Academy on Friday. The 60-minute workout will include mobility exercises, kettlebell and dumbbell moves and agility training. Don’t forget your water! You’ll need it. Free.
🕺 Learn some moves on Saturday during the Baila Fitness class at Vámonos!, a new fitness studio and cafe in Southwest Detroit. Every week, dance instructor Denisse Lopez and others will lead you through steps to get your heart pumping, sweat dripping and hips moving. Free, donations encouraged.
🚶 Is a nice stroll more your speed? Bring the family to Brilliant Detroit’s walking club, hosted weekly on Mondays and Thursdays. Meet other Detroiters as you get your steps in near North Rosedale Park. Happy striding! Free.
