Zumba Step at Virgin Active

Virgin Active (yes, again) has collaborated with dance-fitness group Zumba to launch a new workout called Zumba® Step. The workout, which debuted worldwide on February 8, combines traditional fitness, dance and step aerobic moves, all set to sexy, infectious tunes. It's a fun and effective way to tone those glutes and hamstrings, and you'll get to burn up to 1,000 calories in a single session. Check out www.virginactive.com.sg for details. 

Zuu at Virgin Active

Zuu (pronounced as "zoo"—but of course) at Virgin Active is a novel, high-intensity 30-minute workout whereby participants strike animalistic poses and perform moves like frog squats and bear crawls. You're probably going to feel pretty awkward and self-conscious at first, but you'll definitely get to work up a good sweat—it's like interval training, albeit way more interesting.
