It was about 8 years ago, that time l was quite 'addicted' to gym, l like to workout on my waist with using a bar, for side stretching and twist [sometimes with weight sometimes no], and l managed to shape up my waist with this workout.

After sometimes, l started to think how to share this with my students, it is quite troublesome if l ask students to bring a bar to aerobics class, this is also not a good idea if we have big group in a class, they might crash to each other. So, l tried to think of other props and finally l found this---towel.

From that moment l practised the workout with towel on my own , l made research on towel and choreographed many sets of different routines for different parts of our body. I found that it is really effective in shaping up our body, and the result in helping to get rid of the hidden fat is fantastic. So l tried to think of all those exercises that dealing with hidden fat, and later l found another prop---chair.

When the exercise was formed, l started to think of a good name for it. A friend of mine[ we call her BG] who is English educated gave me idea of the name, she said since this is good to shape up our body, why not you combine the word shape and aerobics together?

So, ' SHAPEROBICS  ' is borned !

I gave a free trial to my students for shaperobics 's first lesson, the class was full that day. After the class, almost all students that attended the trial told me that they like it, they can really feel that it is working on their hidden fat, they wanted me to start this workout class officially.

That is how l started shaperobics. But at first, we did not do cardio in the class, l emphasised on shape up only, we even bare footed in the class. Then later students started to comments on to add some' walking' and 'stepping' in the routine, l remember the person that keen to this comment  is Dr Chan. So l put on my sport shoes and started to do a cardio shape, and l found that it is even more effective. So this is the feature of our shaperobics today.

Shaperobics is good to beginners and those who don't like tough exercise. It is simple and fun , with the help of the towel, the students will have a better posture and more impact on the exercise, that's why it is effective. But some students do not know how to 'make friend' with their towel, they don't hold their towel properly, instead they 'build a bridge' for the towel [ the towel drop at centre like a bridge because it is not hold properly with impact]. You are not going to enjoy the result with a 'bridge' towel. Actually it is very easy to control the towel, you just have to hold it to the width slightly wider than your shoulders and make sure the towel is straight, easy right? But if you simply sway your body for the workout, you will not enjoy the result too, IMPACT ! IMPACT ! When to stretch means really stretching, when to push means push, when to pump means pump, you are not in a model's training class, don't just pose softly there my dear, you are doing exercise ok !

I know l know it is tiring but trust me , you can train up your stamina, or you will permanently with only' poses' , in another word, permanently with your hidden fat la!

NO PAIN NO GAIN.............
