Twerking
THE ULTIMATE FULL-BODY WORKOUT
If you didn’t know, twerking is great
exercise! It strengthens muscles in
nearly every part of your body, giving
you a full-body workout while toning your
thighs and badonkadonk! It also improves
your hip flexibility and will boost your
overall fitness, too! We recently spoke
with Bami from Bam Bam Boogie, a dance
fitness company providing high-energy
twerking classes.
HI BAMI! SO, A VERY POPULAR
QUESTION THAT WE OFTEN
HEAR IS: CAN ANYONE TWERK?
Yes! Everyone and anyone can twerk. All
booties matter!
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
ARE THE TOP THREE
BENEFITS OF TWERKING?
One, you’ll build legs of steel! Twerking is
just as effective as squatting, so it’s a great
lower body workout. Two: improved confidence
by stepping out of your comfort
zone! Going to the gym can sometimes
make you feel more confident but twerking
helps you to embrace all your jiggly
bits and make you feel like a superstar!
Three: core stability. Most twerking exercises
require core stability and will help
to improve your posture due to improved
core strength. Twerking targets your quads,
glutes, hamstrings and calves.
IF SOMEONE WANTS TO
TONE UP, HOW OFTEN DO
THEY NEED TO TWERK?
You’ve got to go hard at it for at least two
hours a week, I’d say. However, it depends
how hard you decide to go per session.
WE’VE SEEN A HUGE RISE IN THE
POPULARITY OF TWERKING.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?
It’s always been popular but it hasn’t been
as mainstream. I think, because of confident
come-up stars like Cardi B who
twerk loud and proud over social media,
it has encouraged more women to twerk
publically.
You can meet Bami at FitFest Oxford
on 15 th June, where she’ll be running
a twerking workout session!
