Reebok provides training for aerobics instructors

JAKARTA (JP): Sports equipment manufacturer Reebok once again
demonstrated its commitment to developing the fitness industry in
Indonesia by providing equipment and training for fitness
instructors.

"Through the Reebok Resolution campaign, or Innovasia, every
year we have invited international fitness experts to come and
improve the quality of Indonesian instructors through workshops,"
Reebok Indonesia general manager Ruby Sjabana said on Wednesday.

"Participants receive internationally recognized certificates
upon completing the workshops which will add to their value as
instructors."

Ruby was speaking at a media conference following the
conclusion of the international fitness workshop, which was held
on Tuesday and Wednesday. In addition to the workshop, an
aerobics competition took place on Monday and Reebok will launch
a new product here, the core board, on Thursday.

"The board provides dynamic three-dimensional movements
designed to train the core group of muscles or the abdominal
area. Even just standing on it increases the abdominal muscles up
to 20 percent," said Jeffrey Scott of Reebok University USA.

Reebok University is an institution that provides advanced
training for aerobics instructors.

Top Indonesian bodybuilder Ade Rai also took part in the
conference. He said the concept of the core board was to always
have coordination between the brain and the muscles.

"Just like in skipping, once you step on the core board you
must stabilize every movement. This means that you burn calories
faster.

"The device basically trains your abdominal muscles at the
same time as other muscles," Ade said. (nvn)
