Drumming for the HEALTH of it!

A breakthrough in rhythm-based fitness!

Greetings! Interested in a brand new way to get fit? It’s easy…and more fun than you can imagine.

FitRhyhms® Hits Nanaimo!

I am offering a fantastic, new, rhythm-based exercise programme called FitRhythms® to everyone in the Nanaimo area. Now you can achieve your ultimate fitness and health goals through rhythm-based FUN!

The Healthy, Holistic Lifestyle

As you know, drumming and other forms of recreational music making are holistic activities that incorporate the mind, body and spirit. FitRhythms® is a revolutionary new exercise program that uses rhythm to achieve phenomenal fitness goals.

Have Fun Getting Fit!

FitRhythms® is more fun than any other form of aerobic workout and actually leaves you feeling fully energized at the end of a session. It’s accessible to everyone and has clinically proven results. It’s non-competitive and you don’t have to have any previous experience or skills to participate.

FitRhythms® Creator, Paulo Mattioli

Paulo Mattioli created this exciting new, rhythm-based exercise protocol. Paulo is a talented and charismatic artist, educator and facilitator. He has dedicated his life to helping others reach their full potential for success and wellness through rhythm.

What is FitRhythms®?

Paulo’s program combines live drumming and dance into an exciting, uplifting and effective workout. It’s a non-competitive program that fosters community, creativity and mind/body wellness through the process of group music making and movement. Not only does this programme offer aerobic and cardiovascular benefits, it also provides you with an enjoyable activity that makes fitness FUN!

Pamela Joins FitRhythms® Team

I recently attended FitRhythms® new training programme at Remo Drum’s main headquarters in Hollywood California. During the training I discovered that FitRhythms® really lives up to its motto, “Passionate Play, Serious Fitness!”

It’s an amazing program and I’m very proud to be part of the FitRhythms® facilitator team. I can now support your goals for living a healthy, active lifestyle, as well as your goals as a drummer. I believe this program will perfectly complement and support your personal health and wellbeing. If you have the opportunity, give it a try!

Get Outside and Drum!

Now that the sun is out and the days are getting longer, I want you to gather your friends and take your drums outside! Drumming in the great outdoors is an exhilarating, joyful experience! Share your spirit and your positive energy and drum for the HEALTH of it!

Peace and blessings,
Pamela Lynn

This is a great CD for practicing finger style rhythms. The CD does not include any notations of rhythms, but it does provide a perfect backdrop for you to learn and improvise off.
