November's theme is ON and we're kicking off a month-long exploration of everything that turns us on, keeps us committed, and inspires us to take action. I have group programs, fireside chats and so much more coming your way. This week we have three fresh ones: Small Axe, Butter and Appelle-Moi along with a few classics from the library to round out the week.

Full Length:

Small Axe is perfect for kicking off the month. It's brief but if you work hard, it really packs a punch. Small Axe comes from an African proverb popularized in Jamaica and the West Indies by Bob Marley’s 1973 song of the same name which features the lyrics “If you are the big tree, we are the small axe.” It essentially means that even the mighty can be brought down small, but sustained action.

Bubblin' is a Cardio + Sculpt with a really fun double breakdown and a fresh weighted sculpting set with compound movements that you’ll love.

Wabi Sabi is a 42-minute weighted standing to grounded sculpt that includes a blend of classic and brand new Standing Abs: Long Arm Side Bends, Waist Rotations, Oppositional Waist Reaches and push-ups to side plank then transitions to grounded abs and glutes. Wabi-Sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature. This workout is perfect for week two. Challenge with wrist weights.

Quick Burn:

Butter is a 19-minute Standing Abs QB with a flow like butter - a little salty and a little sweet.

Slow Your Roll is our core stretch code that we do often on Activation. Build it into your weekly rotation to increase your strength, flexibility and results. On the schedule for a second week in a row for good reason.

Appelle-moi means Call Me in French. This 25-minute Cardio + Sculpt combines high energy cardio and a unique bodyweight sculpting sequence for an incredible total-body workout.

Atarashī is Japanese for new. This 9-min grounded upper body QB is a new take on our crazy arm series and I'm excited to expand on it!
