Brazilian Warrior Workout Maculele

Our Brazilian Warrior Workout is Maculelê (Pronounced: mah-koo-leh-LEH), an Afro Brazilian dance usually performed in a roda (circle). Maculele is a common dance in Santo Amaro da Purificação, Bahia, Brazil at festivals commemorating the saint of the city, Nossa Senhora da Purificação. This is a great warrior workout that will tone your legs, glutes, arms and shoulders. This traditional dance is performed with “grimas” (sticks in Portuguese). These sticks symbolize weapons but function as musical instruments keeping time with drums. If you don’t have “grimas,” you can also use drum sticks, wooden kitchen utensils or just clap your hands. This warrior workout is sure to keep your core engaged while keeping that smile on your face. Let’s hit it!
