A Brazilian Martial Art,
Capoeira was born in the "senzalas", with the slaves. It is a
dance consisting of choreographed movements with circular overhead kicks
and rounded sweeping punches.
Roda
Capoeira is practiced in
a circle known as a "roda", with sound background provided by percussion
instruments
Maculele
Maculele is incorporated by
adding blades to the dance, and "maracatu", which is done with sticks.
Considered by Brazilians as a game, not a fight.
:: Beware ::
Selecting exercises
Make sure that your workout
consists of exercises tat maintain an elevated heart rate. This means
without breaks. Some "stop & go" sports, aren’t right because they won’t
keep your heart rate elevated long enough to burn a lot fat or even
increase your me
Keep moving
Your heart rate should remain
in the ‘training range’ for aerobic capacity to improve. If you stop
abruptly you’ll feel dizzy and might even faint.
