Fabila's Fitness Club

I  bought a green smoothie some months back which had celery as one of its ingredients. While placing my order, I was a bit skeptical about how a celery smoothie would taste, but my oh my did I enjoy it. Now, I am busy making celery smoothies and even cooking celery soup. I know I tend to go overboard with new discoveries. Well, all of this made me wonder what my body was benefiting from my new found love. After all, it is a vegetable, so it should have loads of nutritional and health benefits right?

2 014 was indeed a great year at Fabila's Fitness Club. We launched three fitness programs: Gospel Aerobics, Body Barre Fitness and Zumba Sentao. We also played host to Nigeria's first fitness carnival "Shape Up Naija" which brought together the best of Nigeria's health and fitness industry.

H ello   people! Hope we all are looking forward to the New Year. I definitely am, lots of ideas to be unleashed, projects to begin and so much more. As the year comes to an end, there is so much to be thankful for though the news may seem contrary. We all have a choice to choose whether we would focus on the negatives or be thankful for the positives.

I was quite adventurous this year with my workout routine. I added bikram yoga, belly dancing and Burlesque to my list and I enjoyed all of them, especially the physical benefits. My first few weeks of belly dance training left the mid-section of my body in pain.

I  have written so many articles on carrots and its nutritional and health benefits. In a nutshell, carrots are rich in Vitamin A and other important nutrients such as calcium, phosphorous, iron, sodium, potassium, vitamin B complex.

I have been reading lots of nutrition books lately and I must say I respect my body a lot now. I am more careful about what I throw in my mouth and I have doubled my vegetable and fruit intake. One thing I have noticed with many people, especially those of us who exercise a lot, we tend to think that exercise is an excuse to eat junk. You are wrong if you think so. Your diet is just as important and you cannot cheat for too long. A bad diet will surely tell on you. 

Y ou probably are saying "who is she kidding". Yes I know it's the holidays and many of us want a break from everything, including exercise. The body however would give you what you give it. Plus, do you really want to defeat all the hard work you put in through the year and start all over again in the New Year? I am sure you don't. Here are a few tips to staying fit during the holidays.

In recognition of the growing awareness of Healthy living in Nigeria, Fabila’s Fitness Club presents “Shape Up Naija Fitness Carnival 2014” .  Whether you are a fitpro, fitness fanatic, a newbie, service/product provider, or industry stakeholder, Shape Up Naija Fitness Carnival is an opportunity to meet and network with consumers, trainers, gym owners, wellness facility owners, retailers and distributors

I recently introduced a new program to my Clients “Body Barre Fitness”. My interest in Barre Fitness stems from my love for ballet. You however, do not need to be a ballet dancer, or dancer at all to participate in a Barre Fitness program. Barre fitness classes are ballet-inspired, incorporating a ballet Barre and elements of Pilates, dance, yoga and functional training. Barre workouts are great not just for toning, but, also for alignment and posture. Each class provides a cardio element in addition to a strength and stretch element.  Here are a few reasons you should try Barre Fitness:
