We've all had enough of so called experts telling us why we're overweight or out of shape and what to do about it. It's time for a more fabulous way to battle the bulge and stay in shape with the launch of an Introduction to Fencing from Red Letter Days, the UK's leading experience company. Time to feint, lunge, parry and riposte your way to a better physique.

Most people wouldn't consider the idea that fencing has anything to do with weight loss. However, this ancient art form burns up to 390 calories an hour, and works the bottom and thigh muscles like no other workout! This elegant sport is a great way to get fit, tone those muscles and have fun, all at the same time.

On this experience you'll learn the basics of one of the great Olympic sports from a top international coach. Put on your mask and take up your sword (foil actually) and get straight into an aerobic work out to learn the necessary footwork. Once you have the basics down it's on to lessons in combat and a little touch of French - en guard!

The sport of fencing has been described by many as 'physical chess,' an activity where the need for physical prowess and agility is rivaled only by the need for tactical thinking and cunningness. Battle against your opponent - advance, retreat, advance, mark their weakness and lunge to victory.

So if you fancy yourself as the next Errol Flynn, Zorro, Madonna or even Luke Skywalker, the time to Lunge, Parry and Riposte is at hand!
