Calorie-Crunching Pilates combined with light hand weights for even faster results!
Welcome to CRUNCH Fitness! Now you can get a Pilates body faster than ever with this revolutionary workout.
Everyone knows that Pilates is great for creating longer, leaner muscles. But we've taken Pilates to a whole new level by adding some unique "Burn & Firm" elements to this workout! We begin with standing Pilates exercises blended with some simple dance inspired moves for a cardio-blasting "Burn" segment. Second, we add light hand weights to gently speed up the total body toning and re-shaping effect of Pilates. That's where the "Firm" comes in. Don't worry, this Pilates routine is still low-impact, easy-to-follow, and won't leave you feeling drained like traditional cardio and weight training. Best of all, because this program multi-tasks, it makes the most of every minute of your workout time. With Burn & Firm Pilates you can finally get that sleek, lean, elegant body fast from a workout that leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
All Fitness Levels. A set of light hand weights and a mat are recommended.
