Soca Kardio Fitness hosted a workout in Baisley Pond Park on August 24th. The event was free and open to the public.
Soca kardio fitness is a fusion of dance, weight training, cardio and strength training all in one. With the entire crowd holding weights and dancing to soca music, everyone was working out to achieve their best body.
Sean Austin, the fitness instructor who goes by Mr. Fit, explained why working out is so important. “We focus on promoting health and wellness in the community,” Austin stated. “Soca Kardio is based on the culture from the Caribbean that we infused into American culture. We try to mix it together because there is energy behind music. And the energy behind Soca is so rich and powerful! So mixing it with movements to promote a healthy lifestyle is effortless because that’s what the culture is about.”
