Used to be an acronym for Neuromuscular Integrative Activity. Now is just Nia. Is basically, marital arts, yoga and modern dance moves set to music. Is low-impact, but can be very aerobic. Was wondering how to enter it in my activity log. Was thinking maybe Jazzercise, but have never tried that so don't know if they are similar. Any input would be helpful.
I've never done Jazzercise either, but would think the calories burned would be similar. It's all an estimating game anyway, really, so close enough is close enough.
And isn't Nia a riot? I've only taken 4 classes now, but I'm HOOKED! Aerobics has always been a chore. I do it, but only because I feel like I have to. But Nia? Nia is truly joyful movement for an hour. Throw in some shouting (how cathartic!), some laughter and the inability to take yourself very seriously and you've got yourself the perfect cardio session if you ask me!
I can't believe I've been working out all these years and just found out about it! Where has Nia been hiding??!
