GYMFIT: Tumbling and Fitness

Acro-​Yoga enthusiasts want you! The concept of acro-​yoga has recently become familiar to me within the past year. It’s definitely an acquired skill and with some conditioning you can probably start doing some of the cool tricks they do. I frequently see posts from acro-​yoga master, Joshua «JRob» Roberts, where he is constantly lifting people with his extraordinary leg strength and even flipping people in the air. Trust me, it’s pretty amazing to watch. His posts are consistently encouraging that «no experience is needed» to participate, so people don’t feel intimidated to try it out. I have been lifted once before and that was already difficult, but I am sure becomes easier (just like with everything else, when repeated). It’s so cool to see people having fun, while performing this exercise and it’s quickly becoming a fad around the Baton Rouge area. Make sure to check out Josh’s Instagram page:
for class announcements, videos and photos of this trendy physical activity. His classes take place at Elite Gymnastics and the LSU Lakes area, so stay tuned. You may even see him along with others popping up around the city as well! #geauxacreaux
