Jaxen & Cecilia

Mention the word bachata or zouk in Malaysia and their names are the first to
appear on everyone's lips. Despite being Malaysia's 2005 Salsa Champion, Jaxen
has carved his journey into becoming Malaysia's most recognized bachata and zouk instructor; having been invited to teach and perform in festivals in Malaysia and also in other countries such as Australia and Indonesia. Jaxen has been teaching salsa in Malaysia for about 4 years and has been dancing since 2002. In 2006, he formed Rhythm Identity.

Jaxen & Cecilia has been partners for about 2 years and together they have been
the revolutionary pioneers behind the growth and advancement of the bachata and
zouk scene in Malaysia. They have travelled around the world and have learnt
from some of the most recognized names in the dance industry. They brought into
Malaysia the Bachata Moderna style; a more advanced yet simplistic style of
bachata which focuses a lot on footwork variations with crosses of the feet as well
as modernizing traditional moves to give it more flavour and style yet still
maintaining the sensuality and cheekiness of bachata.

The two of them have also helped grow zouk in Malaysia, turning it from an
unheard of dance into a name which is now mentioned by nearly everyone in the
dance scene. The two of them have been featured on Malaysian national TV as
well as in Malaysia's premier dance magazine Just Dance for their passion and
effort in the promotion of zouk.



Harry & Evelyn

Both of these talented dancers are from the latin ballroom background, once unheard of in the salsa dance scene but they exploded into it by being crowned as the Malaysian Bachata Champion 2010 in the KLDA Rising Star Salsa & Bachata
Championship.

Evelyn is one of Rhythm Identity's instructor specializing
mainly in bachata. Other then her recent championship victory, she also took home the 1st runner-up position in the 2009 Singapore's En La Passion Bachata Competition. Despite being one of Malaysia's hottest new bachata dance sensation, Evelyn is also a qualified Bollywood dance instructor. Her dance
knowledge expands over to latin, ballroom, modern dance, hip hop, line dance and of course salsa and zouk.

Harry was once a latin ballroom instructor but had found a new passion in the street/social latin dances instead. He went to learn salsa, bachata and zouk and it was his talent, passion and hardwork tat helped him earn his current dance title. He is now a trainee instructor for Rhythm Identity and is actively pursuing his advancement in bachata.

Why You Need Aerobic Exercise !!

Why You Need Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise is good for your heart. Learn about the latest aerobic exercise guidelines and the health benefits of aerobic exercise.

The most recent guidelines from the American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend 30 minutes of moderately intense aerobic exercise five days a week or 20 minutes of high intensity aerobic exercise three days a week to maintain good health and reduce your risk of chronic disease. For aerobic workouts, 60 to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate is generally the zone you should reach and sustain to get the most benefits.

"Cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of death in America. Associated with physical inactivity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and smoking, cardiovascular disease accounts for approximately 36 percent of all U.S. deaths," notes Dan G. Tripps, PhD, director of Swedish Medical Center Cardiology Performance Services and Seattle University Center for the Study of Sports and Exercise. "There is, however, a remarkably easy remedy. Physical activity continues to be the most effective way to combat coronary heart disease. Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of the heart and lungs. Yet surveys show that nearly one-third of Americans are not active at all despite these benefits."

The Benefits of Aerobic Exercise

If you have yet to embrace an active lifestyle, take note of these other perks of aerobic exercise:

* Mental benefits. "Aerobic exercise has been shown to increase your confidence, emotional stability, memory, and brain function," notes Tripps. Studies show that about 19 million Americans experience depression every year. It is widely accepted that aerobic exercise improves the symptoms of depression.

* Health benefits. Besides strengthening your heart and lungs, aerobic exercise can help lower your cholesterol, reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes, improve your immune function, and lower your blood pressure.

* Physical benefits. Aerobic exercise burns up calories, which can in turn help you shed excess weight. Aerobic exercise also tones your muscles and improves posture.

* Fitness benefits. In addition to looking better and being healthier, aerobic exercise increases your stamina, giving you more energy for both work and play. You will sleep better and handle stress better, and you’ll feel better about yourself.

Getting Started With Aerobic Exercise

Now that you are aware of all the reasons aerobic exercise should be part of your healthy lifestyle, how about getting started? Before beginning any exercise program, especially if you have health issues, talk to your doctor. Choose activities that you enjoy. Walking, biking, hiking, dancing, even raking leaves can supply aerobic exercise. Here are some tips to remember:

* As you get the recommended 30 minutes of moderately intense aerobic exercise five days a week, you should be exercising at a level that just lets you keep up a conversation during the activity.

* If you’re healthy enough to exercise at a high intensity, make sure you’re not exceeding your target heart rate. You can find your target rate by subtracting your age from 220, then multiplying that number by 70 percent (70).

* Drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your workouts.

* Include warm-up and cool-down periods in your aerobics exercise routines.

* Avoid high-intensity aerobic activity for one to two hours after eating.

* Skip your workouts when you’re ill or overtired.

Research shows that aerobic exercise is beneficial even if it’s done in shorter segments throughout the day. Even if you have a busy schedule, you can find time for several 10-minute periods of moderate-intensity aerobic activity.
"Start with a lighter volume of aerobic exercise and gradually work your way toward some specific goals. Maintain a sensible nutrition program and keep exercise in perspective," Find a level of aerobic exercise that is safe and effective for you and make it something that you enjoy. To stay motivated, you can exercise with a friend, your spouse, or your children. Make aerobic exercise a regular part of a healthier lifestyle for you and your loved ones
