Beauty and the Beach 2011 Weekend in Boracay

Summer would never be complete without getting a trip to the beach. Perfect for spending time with family and friends on the sands and under the sun!

It is also every summer that Women’s Health have their Beauty and the Beach. This is an event open for all women who want to have fun with different fitness activities. Special treats from Womens Health and various sponsors were given right after the class including a cold havaianas!

Time flies so fast that this year is now Womens Health second year anniversary. I was there during the magazine launch in 2009. A week before our wedding, I was sunbathing, and enjoying the different dance workouts. Beauty and the Beach 2010 was a lot of fun with the different classes like the bollywood, the carribean hiphop and ofcourse, the barefoot run. We even went for an ATV ride up to Mt Luho.

This year is another exciting year. New dance classes were lined up and taught by Marlette Besa. She had been teaching all the ladies great dances since Beauty and the Beach’s first year. Last weekend, my favorite was the Indian Bollywood and the Hapa Haole Polynesian dance. I tried the chair cabaret too! I hope to get copies of the songs as we notice Gab love them as lullabies!
