I Didn’t Want to Like Vanessa Hudgens’s $40 Workout Class, But I Did—And I Might Go Back

You Need Posted on by

This probably isn't a "newsflash" moment, but it needs to be said: Vanessa Hudgens has an incredible body—which isn't terribly surprising given the access to personal trainers, chefs, nutritionists, etc., that most celebs have. (It's definitely easier to achieve your #fitnessgoals if you're surrounded by people who help you do that 24/7.)

But back to V-Hug's bod (do people call her that? IDK, but I like it)—specifically her abs. A workout studio called WundaBar, which only has locations in New York and California, credits itself with Vanessa's super-toned core. Jessica Biel and Emma Roberts are also apparently regulars at the studio.

That hype alone had me curious about what exactly went on in a $40 class at WundaBar, so their NYC-based SoHo studio agreed to let me try it out for free.

I'm not going to lie: When I first walked into the WundaBar studio in New York City, I was intimidated. First, because I don't typically do boutique fitness classes (shout-out to my gym's elliptical machine and stretching mat). Let's just say that when I saw the equipment in WundaBar's studio (machines called WundaFormers, which are similar to standard Pilates reformers), I started sweating before class even started.

RELATED: I Tried Rope Wall Yoga and It Wasn’t as Scary as It Sounds

Another thing that gave me pause: WundaBar was filled with women who, IMO, looked like they were regulars (i.e., women who have the privilege of working out at 11 a.m. on a weekday—with the wardrobes to match). I was totally ready to be the least experienced person in the class. 

Before I get too far into the specifics of my WundaBar workout, you should know what a class typically consists of: It’s advertised as a workout that "combines beautiful biomechanics and traditional Pilates with efficient movement, exceptional flow and a cardio-intense pace to give you the full body burn you’ve been looking for." Literally everything about that sentences says "I don't know what you're talking about but sign me up."

The class started out with some light stretching, then everyone moved in front of our WundaFormers and continued warming up by doing what I can only describe as a one-legged plié (watch our instructor gracefully demonstrate below—I promise I did not look quite like that). We were told to focus on our balance, while doing slow, controlled movements with our arms and legs.

RELATED: Pilates: The Secret to an Amazing Body

Next, we made our way to our backs on the flat part of our WundaFormers, with our feet flat against the end of the machine. We were instructed to push off, using our thighs and calves, and then land in a slight plié. This exercise actually felt much easier on my knees than typical jump squats—and, rest assured, I still felt the burn in my legs while doing the repetitions. 

The last 15 minutes or so of the class was all about stretching and core work. Using a bar attached to the back of the WundaFormer, we were instructed to bring our legs towards and away from our stomachs—a reverse crunch of sorts—which I truly felt in areas of my core I didn't even know existed.

Overall, I loved how low-impact the entire class was. (Just FYI: "Low-impact" doesn't necessarily mean "easy"—it just means I didn't walk away from the class dreading how I might feel the next morning.) Was I a little sore? You bet, but I wasn't wincing every time I walked down a set of stairs. During the 45-minute class, I felt like I worked my arms and legs really well at a comfortable pace (i.e., not grasping for my water bottle during every break), and got in some good stretching, as well. 

Do I think that Vanessa's abs are solely the result of her WundaBar workouts? Unclear, leaning towards no—but I'm sure they've definitely helped and in a super-doable, low-impact way; so yeah, I think you can count me in for a second class.

News24.com | Rules to fire heads of Chapter 9 institutions: Parliamentary subcommittee flags lack of clear definitions

You Need Posted on by

The parliamentary subcommittee tasked with the review of the National Assembly rules has raised concern over the lack of clear definitions relating to the ground upon which a Chapter 9 official can be removed.

The subcommittee met on Friday “to consider proposed rules concerning a section 194 enquiry”, according to a statement released by Parliament.

Section 194 of the Constitution deals with the removal of the Public Protector, the Auditor-General or a member of a commission, established by Chapter 9 of the Constitution, from office.

According to the statement, the subcommittee agreed “it was imperative that the grounds be clearly defined to close the vacuum that exists”.

“While the Constitution and the National Assembly rules do set out a broad framework for Parliament to exercise its functions in terms of section 194, the subcommittee agreed that to ensure clarity and uniformity, specific rules are required as mandated by the rules committee.”

Proposals presented to the subcommittee in this regard provide four stages for a section 194 in Parliament.

This includes the initiation, the preliminary assessment of evidence, an inquiry by a committee and a decision by the House.

Currently, there are two ways for an MP to initiate the process – by a “substantive motion in the National Assembly” or by a written request to the speaker of Parliament.

Then, a decision on “whether prima facie evidence exists for the National Assembly to proceed with an inquiry that would be fact-based and rely on legal considerations”.

“Concerning the third stage, options being considered include, a special committee on section 194 processes, an ad hoc committee or a portfolio committee of the National Assembly.”

Then, a decision will be taken by the National Assembly following due process.

Following the meeting on Friday, the subcommittee referred the matters discussed to the administration to develop draft rules. It will consider this for the next meeting scheduled for October.

“In terms of the process map, when the subcommittee reaches an agreement on the guidelines, it will present its recommendations to the National Assembly rules committee, which in turn would submit its recommendations to a plenary sitting of the House for approval/adoption.”

Last month, the portfolio committee on justice and correctional services agreed to approach the rules committee to draft rules on the removal of heads of Chapter 9 institutions before considering the removal proceedings against Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, News24 reported.

DA chief whip John Steenhuisen laid a complaint against Mkhwebane with Parliament following a series of court findings against her, however, Parliament currently does not have clear rules to be followed.

Mkhwebane indicated at the time she would challenge this process.

News24.com | Forced to flee: UNHRC steps in to protect foreign nationals in SA

You Need Posted on by

The UNHRC, the United Nation’s Refugee Agency, claims at least 1 500 foreign nationals, mainly migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers, were forced to flee their homes during heightened violence against foreigners in South Africa.

UNHRC spokesperson, Charlie Yaxley, addressed media at the Palais des Nations in Geneva on Friday.

Yaxley said the UNHRC was deeply concerned about the violence against foreign nationals, saying at least 12 people – South Africans and foreign nationals – had been killed.

“Our staff are receiving a significant increase in calls to our telephone hotlines in recent weeks, with people reporting that their homes and businesses have been looted, buildings and property have been set on fire, increased gang activity on the streets and rising incidents of sexual and gender-based violence,” Yaxley said.

“Many refugees are now too afraid to go to work or carry out their day-to-day trade, despite having no alternative sources of income.”

He said, as a result of the violence in South Africa, the UNHRC were strengthening operational presence in South Africa to ensure the safety of refugees.

This, Yaxley said, would be done in conjunction with the South African government, UN agencies through the UN Protection Working Group chaired by UNHCR, and NGO and civil society partners.

He said the UNHRC would take decisive action in this regard.

“We are deploying additional staff and resources, including relief items, emergency shelter, psycho-social care, legal assistance and support with recovery of lost livelihoods. Community dialogues are being established with host communities to strengthen social cohesion.”

This would include UNHCR experts on child protection and sexual and gender-based violence will arrive in the coming days, Yaxley said.

“Some 800 people, mostly from Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe, have sought safety in community halls in Katlehong,” he said, adding that many foreigners had left South Africa following the violence, including:

  • 73 Malawians
  • 138 Mozambicans
  • 314 Nigerians, and
  • 72 Zimbabweans

Yaxley explained that refugees and asylum-seekers are feeling uneasy in South Africa, their situation worsened by lack of documentation.

This means they struggle to access health care, education and public services.

“UNHCR is calling on State authorities to take every possible measure to ensure people’s safety and welfare. No effort should be spared to quell the violence and enforce rule of law. Those responsible for committing criminal acts must be held to account in court,” he said.

He added that the National Action Plan to Combat Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, recently adopted by South Africa needs to implemented.

“Those with a voice in the public domain have a responsibility to ensure their language does not further inflame the situation, and that foreigners do not become scapegoats for complex socio-economic challenges,” said Yaxley.
