NOT many people make it to a world titles after only being involved in a sport for two years.

But Warrnambool teenager Aylish Auchettl is an exception.

She will head to the Netherlands later this week to compete in the World Aerobic Championships.

Aylish will travel with her teammates from EKB Fitness and Aerobics to compete in the teams event.

The 14-year-old was excitedly packing her bags when she spoke to The Standard and said she was looking forward to being among the best competitors in the world.

Its very exciting, Im looking forward to the whole experience of travelling overseas, and seeing the best in the world compete, she said.

The Warrnambool College student said she was doing up to 10 hours training a week in preparation for the championships.

I do about one-and-a-half hours a day, she said.

Action Fitness sponsors the team and as part of that we get a membership, so we have been doing gym sessions and using the mirrors for choreography.

How many calories do you burn by jogging for an hour, or swimming, or indulging in aerobics? Find out right here.

Your weight is determined by how many calories you consume per day, minus the calories you burn through activities. In order to lose weight, you either need to eat less calories or burn more of them through exercise and fitness. Imagine how much faster it would be to lose weight if you ate less calories and exercised at least thrice a week.

The number of calories that you burn in any activity or sport depends on your body weight and the intensity of your work out. Here we tried to give the values of calories burnt by various activities or sports per hour for an average adult weighing 70 kg.

If the person weighs more, the calories burnt are also more with the same duration of activity.

Accelerate team members (back from left) Sophie Bellman, Tiarna Drake, Sarah Hill, Gaby Carty; (middle) Emily Lacey, Samantha Stewart, Stephanie Umbers and (front) Aylish Auchettl try out their new uniforms.

THE countdown is on for a Warrnambool aerobics combination ready to test itself on the world stage.

EKB Fitness and Aerobics Accelerate team members received their Australian uniforms at a presentation on Saturday.

They will fly to the Netherlands on Thursday for the world championships.

Coach Emma Bellman said her eight-member junior fitness teams preparation had been flawless.

I watched their nationals routine yesterday and got a mum to film their routine yesterday, she said.

They have improved since nationals in such a short amount of time.

Making finals (at worlds) is reasonable.

Bellman said the teenage team had worked diligently fine-tuning its routine and building its fitness base. Every day except Wednesdays theyve had some sort of training, she said.

Aerobics group accelerates towards the world stage

1. Attend Russ Petrickas step aerobics class- lets face it, you wouldnt last longer than ten minutes anyway. 2. Heat up, and ravenously devour, a bowl of Easy Mac. 3. Watch Michael Jacksons Thriller music video without holding back your inhibition to dance along to it. 4. Go to Fourth Libe with the intention of studying for your next class, without fail end up seeing everyone you know, and end up not even touching your notes. 5. Go to First Libe with the intention of studying and end up sitting in a corner ordering a cute pair of jeans online. 6. Organize your beloved drawer of festive holiday socks By season. 7. Lay in the bald spot, pondering the greatest woes of the natural world- this is Carleton afterall. 8. Try to determine the best maneuver to get your bike out of the massive heap known as the Sayles bike racks. 9. Write a Top Ten list at the speed of one thing per minute. 10. Maybe, just maybe, walk to class?

THE Sutherland sisters, of Thornlands, have sport aerobics in Australia stitched up since winning international division titles at the recent sports aerobics national competition in Adelaide.

Grace, 17, and Meg, 14, took out the open women's and junior women's titles at the competition in July to qualify to compete at the world sport aerobics championships being held in the Netherlands this month.

Mother Marg Sutherland said the girls took up the sport through their school, Sheldon College, several years ago and have continued with it, even though the school no longer offers it. Both are members of Cass Sport Aerobics at Coffs Harbour, where they are trained twice a school term. In between, the girls train at Good Life gym at Cleveland, with training spanning about three hours a day six days a week.

"They basically train themselves. For a 14-year-old to do this is awesome," Marg said.

Marg said the girls already had a basis in gymnastics and trampolining, so adding dance to these moves was the next step. Even so, she said she was delighted and surprised at their skills.

"It's beautiful to watch. It's definitely a spectator sport," she said.

Marg said other skills learnt through the sport included self discipline and good work ethic.

"Grace is in Year 12 at school so you need to be disciplined to do everything she does," Marg said.

Ditch the gym. Try something different.

Last year's mega fundraising "Party in Pink" Zumbathon in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer at Ally Pally

What: Zumba is a fitness dance party. Its a fun, high-energy workout with roots in aerobics, salsa, and street dance.

The rundown: Class starts with a warm-up then plunges through a playlist of upbeat latin and pop music with different choreography for each track, working different parts of the body. Although its fast, theres lots of repetition involved, aligned to the verse and chorus of the songs, so you soon conquer the choreography. Your instructor will go through the basics before each track but following their lead is easy and it doesnt matter if you go wrong. Just keep moving, keep sweating, keep smiling and youll pick it up again.

Is it the right fit for you? Zumba really is for anyone. Even men.

The class we tried takes place in a local school hall where there are no mirrors to worry about, and nobody cares if you go wrong. The class is attended by a regular bunch aged from late teens to later life and each works to their own ability. Theres always an easier version of the moves to try if the choreography gets a bit tricky or the arms are confusing but no one gets singled out. Its evident that everyone has fun and theres a social side to classes, with breaks for water and gossip. Our instructor, Kendra, buzzes with energy, makes the class laugh, throws in mosh pit moments and makes everyone feel welcome and included.

Oh, and you burn loads of calories and tone up with all that arm waving, hip wiggling and bouncing about.

Where and when: There are over 1,000 Zumba classes to try across London each week at sports centres and in community venues so you will be able to find a class local to you. Classes cost just 5-6 for a 45-60 minute class and instructors often offer loyalty cards.

We tried and paid for classes with Kendra McMillan at Bounds Green School which cost 5.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Yoga classes. Circuit training. And now Zumba, the fitness phenomenon that's taking over where step aerobics left off, is the latest group exercise trend being embraced by seniors who want to shape up.

The elder-friendly version, Zumba Gold, has popped up at senior centers, gyms and retirement communities. It keeps original Zumba's Latin party vibe, giving participants a workout while dancing to salsa and merengue beats. But Gold classes scale back on the high-impact and tricky moves.

"Once something gets popular, a lot of people want to do it," said Dr. Orly Avitzur, a neurologist and medical adviser for Consumer Reports. "We drag our friends, our sisters and our mothers along with us."

Avitzur has seen two generations of the same family Zumba-ing together.

At the Northwest Focal Point Senior Center in Margate, Fla., tables and chairs were pushed aside on a Tuesday morning and 17 women gathered in the center of the lunchroom. Loretta Bartley, 93, stood behind her walker. Everyone had on tennis shoes (except a woman in ballet flats); another wore a fuzzy lavender, short-sleeved sweater.

Within 10 minutes, they were shaking, side-stepping and smiling as Latina superstar singer Shakira purred in Spanish through the CD player: "You know I want ya! You got a lot of the sex appeal." Pop standard "Hit the Road Jack" followed later and everyone sang along.

"It keeps me active and keeps my brain moving, too," said Pat Kramer, 73, a retired school crossing guard sporting a star-spangled headband.

Kramer and her classmates like Zumba for all of the reasons group fitness is particularly popular with senior women, experts say: They have fun and make new friends.

Joy Prouty, a former Radio City Music Hall Rockette with 45 years in the exercise industry, didn't forget that fact when she and her business partner joined forces with Zumba Fitness LLC six years ago to create Zumba Gold.

"There is a big social factor to these classes," said Prouty, 71, of Delray Beach, Fla. "As people get older in life, they may have lost a spouse."
