'As soon as you hear that Bhangra beat you want to start moving'

Summaya Mughal

Available for over a year

A Leicestershire Mum is empowering women to stay healthy and active through the power of Bhangra music. Reema Bhakri has combined traditional Punjabi folk dance steps into a cardio workout. She's now giving classes to women like her who work and live busy family lives, but who find it difficult to find the time for fitness. She's also worked as a 'This Girl Can Ambassador' with Leicestershire leisure facilities to get more women into sport. Reema explains to Summaya Mughal how it all started.
