7 Min Animal Abs
No need to sit around like a sloth when you can knock out this quick ab workout and get a six-pack like a Beluga whale (seriously, they’re cut). You’ll hit all the core muscles with these animal-inspired ab exercises, like inchworms, bird-dogs, and butterfly sit-ups. Add this animal-inspired series to the end of your cardio and strength workout, or even just as a quick solo session during a break in your day. Either way, bring your best lion or lioness roar and get it done!
Mat Pilates w/ Thera-bands
Embrace the burn and savor the sculpt in this body-sculpting mat pilates workout with thera-bands. Though in this class you can get an amazing pilates session in without the bands, the added resistance provides an element of strength and control. Grab your mat and let’s feel the burn.
Carve it Up: Arms & Abs
Tone those triceps, build those biceps, and carve that core, right… now! This is the perfect short workout where the focus is all on Arms & Abs!

Hello tank tops, hello little black dress, hello you fit phenom you! Go get it done.
