Happy 2024…
The January Program begins today. You’ll see schedules and content updated here and in-studio in the afternoon/early evening depending on where you are. I have a lot to download to you all this week. If you’re practicing from EST or WET/UTC and are getting started early in the morning, I recommend getting your form in check and beginning with this week’s Full Length Sculpt, Meraki which is in studio. Schedules will be live here and workouts are listed in the order I’d love for you to do them in.
full length
Meraki (v.) is a Greek word meaning something done with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work. To me, Meraki is all about passion and it's this type of workout that always brings me back to the mat and reminds me why I love what I do. Meraki is a 38-min core sculpt that works it all on the mat (grounded) and standing. You'll need light to medium weights and a mat.
I have a feeling this will be a new go-to for many of you, as it's one of my new faves for waist and hip sculpting. 36-24-36 is a total-body 40-minute no equipment standing sculpt that really hones in on the waist, hips, but and thighs (everything core). Add wrist weights to really increase the sweat and upper body sculpting. You’ll need wrist weights and a mat.
Gloria is a 45-min single weight cardio + sculpt with choreo that gets straight to the point and includes extra breakdown reps. Imo, Gloria is the meaning of CCS cardio perfection blending a little hip sass and big impact moves with basic sculpting and core balance work. You'll need one single medium to heavy weight and a mat.
body parts
Anti Gravity is an 11-minute grounded Body Parts workout that really hones in on the core with work in plank and on the elbow. You'll need a mat and ankle weights.
Quick Burn
Hardcore is a 22-min Quick Burn that really focuses on compound multi-plane movement and balance. You'll feel the opposition at work within your core (Internal and External Obliques specifically along with antagonists: Erector Spinae on the opposite side, contralateral Transverse Abdominis (TA), and the contralateral Quadratus Lumborum (QL). No equipment or challenge with wrist weights (beginners challenge with ankle weights).
Portal is a great segue into our Cardio-Cheer-Sculpting technique and our longer, full-length workouts. It’s a perfect combo of cardio and light weight standing and grounded core sculpting.
