Among the fitness trends we’ve seen called for 2008 is hip hop yoga, a fusion that was introduced in L.A. as early as 2003 and popularized via a video series by Russell Simmons and Def Jam in 2005. As variations on the theme like Yoga Booty Ballet and Yoga for Indie Rockers have followed suit, critics insist that removing the spirituality from yoga is like taking the meat out of a hamburger. Do you want to get your heart beating faster and break a sweat or are you seeking inner peace? Balance Ultimate’s new class schedule will help picky eaters keep their peas and mashed potatoes separate with options like Fitness Boxing, which utilizes heavy bags, speed bags, focus pads and medicine balls and Hip-Hop Dance Fitness. As you might suspect, the latter weaves hip-hop dance moves through a cardio workout and is offered weekly on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. Classes are $7 each or a dozen for $60. Balance Ultimate Fitness is located on Gardner Road in the BellaDaro Professional Building, formerly Elmhurst Elementary School. Call 862-2840 for more information.
