10 TIPS FOR LONG-LASTING STUDIO LB SUCCESS
How are you guys feeling? Is your mood meh? Having a tough time getting your mind right? Our mind is our strongest muscle and worst enemy so we have to train it well. Quarantine is crazy and life gets in everyone's way, but you absolutely CAN reach your goals and achieve the results you want. Here are ten tips (and more) for when you can't seem to get your rear in gear, get out of your own head, or stay motivated.
Prioritize. No time because you spend hours on your phone? Turn that time into active time. In the long run you'll be glad that you put your health first. Your body will thank you, too.
Make a date with YOU. Schedule your workout just like you schedule your Zoom happy hours and honor that commitment. It's just as important.
Write it down. Tracking your progress and setbacks is eye-opening and effective. Record how long you worked out, what workout you did, how you felt after. I always remind myself that I'm only 50 minutes away from a good mood and that always motivates me to just do it on days when I need a boost.
Stay positive. Your body hears everything your mind thinks!
Imagine it. Visualize your results! Think about how you will look and feel after one month, six weeks, three months, six months, and one year. Results are the best motivational tool, so be sure to keep up with your own measurements and photos.
Make yourself accountable. Going public with your story keeps you committed. Tell your friends and family.
Don't get discouraged. It's important to make a long-term commitment, even if it means going without noticeable results for a week. Remember that you can't go wrong by eating whole foods and working out regularly (especially when it's fun).
Find a few LB besties. Motivation flows both ways, and our community needs it as much as we all do individually. Reach out to the hotline, the Facebook group, or get with a friend on video and do Studio LB or walk together.
Reward yourself! I'm not talking about junk food. Each week that you accomplish your goals (maybe it's a certain number of workouts, following the schedule, or working out consistently at 6AM.
Treat yourself to something that inspires you to stick with it, like a new pair of jeans or a piece of jewelry. I recommend creating a point system. When you meet your goals, give yourself a point and record it. When you hit a certain amount of points, treat yourself to an activity that makes you feel great, such as a mani/pedi with friends or a massage.
Activation. If you've gone on Activation with us, you know that Studio LB travels well! Get outside, have fun, and utilize your surroundings.

TIPS FROM STUDIO LB PROS
I’ve always wanted to spread Cardio-Cheer-Sculpting world-wide but I created Studio LB because independent training transformed my body at many important times in my life. I’m a lover and a believer. My at-home training was what got me into killer shape and allowed me to become an SEC DIV 1-A athlete at the University of South Carolina, which btw, was no small feat for a girl from Jersey. I tried out with over 600 women from the south. Sure, we were all talented, and I was scouted, but these were girls who had cheered at a very high level their entire lives (think Netflix CHEER) and had been doing co-ed stunts long before I did. There was no NFL team in the Carolinas back then - We were it. I had always cheered all-girl and was always a base. The first time I was a flyer was at tryouts (got right up to hands on the first try) and I’d never done a layout or ran a < 6-min. mile. Both were mandatory. I learned really quickly and I believe that I made the 24 person coed squad (12 women and 12 men) because I had become so fit, empowered and confident …on my own, at home in my parents basement.
At-home fitness has been a huge part of my life since I was a child, long before I was a cheerleader, Pilates instructor, and created my own method. I love that digital fitness saves us time, money, and it can be way more personal than attending a class. I could literally go on and on about the benefits of digital fitness. However, one thing we don’t talk enough about is how to successfully make the transition from primarily exercising at gyms and fitness studios, to primarily exercising at home. The key is learning what works for you in terms of self-motivation and accountability. At gyms or in class, people tend to find their motivation because someone else is watching, or you may show up for your workout because you’ll be charged if you skip it. These motivational factors aren’t relevant w/ digital fitness so you need to change your mindset. A few tips from me:
Set achievable goals and tackle them one at a time.
Take progress pictures. Seeing your results is one of the biggest ways to self-motivate.
Use a mirror so you can see yourself. This is so important! Your form will be better which equates to RESULTS and you’ll work 100% harder, which again = results. You’ll also develop a deeper connection with YOU.
Utilize the weekly schedules. I create the weekly content to work together so that you’re balanced, always challenging yourself and achieving the best results.
Remember your “Why” and remind yourself of this every time you workout. Your “Why” is fluid —It should change as you change.
Create a dedicated area for your Studio LB in your home complete with a mood board and progress pictures of yourself. Live your brand - Get into it and make it all about you!
Check in with yourself during each workout. Are you simply going through the motions or are you working as hard as you would be if I were in the room with you?
Get into a routine. whether you work out first thing in the morning or right after work. Find a time that works for you and stick with it.
Check-In with us on the hotline! Text me and the team on the hotline and tell me what workout you’re doing, or create a workout schedule with a friend. If you share your plan w/ others, you’ll be more likely to hold yourself accountable.
Record yourself. This is a great way to check your form, and you may work harder knowing someone could see that video.
Everyone has different ways to self-motivate, so we also reached out to some Studio LB pros to share their tips with you. Here’s what Katie, Lindsay & Danielle have to say!
Katie K.
Hi Ladies, Katie here! Some of you may have seen me in Studio LB workouts, or have talked to me on the hotline, or via email. I’m one in our small but mighty team of four. Since we launched Studio LB, I have become a die-hard and have been exclusively working out at home, except for the occasional Yoga class or Activation workouts. Yet, before Studio LB, the majority of my workouts took place in fitness studios. Over the last 3.5 years I’ve become so thankful for the ability to get a kickass workout without leaving my home, and given the circumstances I’m more thankful than ever that Studio LB was already part of my routine. I love that I don’t have to waste time getting to the gym, packing up a shower bag, dealing with traffic. I don’t worry about getting charged a late fee or losing a class. If I’m not feeling cardio, I can easily do a sculpting workout or vice versa. Plus, I can do it from anywhere, whether that’s my living room, at a park or on a boat dock. But, mostly I love it, because it saves me so much time. I have time to stretch or add on a 30 min yoga video. I also have more time to for my morning routine and to make sure I give my pup some proper exercise. I can’t ever imagine becoming a regular gym user again, mostly for the sake of time and cost, but also because I have digital access to some of the best trainers and yoga teachers in the world.
Many of our new Studio LB members, and most of the world has recently made the switch from gyms and fitness studios to digital workouts. I also, remember when I first made the switch and what it was like during the transition phase. I personally, used to be extremely motivated to work hard b/c someone was watching me, or to show up for the class because someone would know (and charge me) if I didn’t. It takes a bit of time to learn new ways to self-motivate and hold yourself accountable, but once you learn what works for you, there are so many benefits to digital fitness and you may find you’ll never want to go back to the gym.
Here are some things that help me self-motivate and work my hardest during the workouts:
I try to work out first thing in the morning. I’m a night owl by nature, so mornings are tough for me, but as the day goes on I find more things get in the way. If I miss my morning workout, I try to make sure I find someway to move later in the day- even if it’s just a 10-min QB during lunch or before dinner.
It’s easy to go through the motions if you’re not paying attention. Multiple times during each workout I try to tune-in and ask myself if I’m working as hard as if I were on camera or in Lauren’s presence. I almost always can go a little lower, lift a little heavier, tighten up my form, & sharpen my movements.
I try not to take any breaks. If Lauren stops to talk and explain something, I always keep going. I’ll also pause the video or rewind to add in a few extra reps if I feel like I was fumbling through cardio or my form wasn’t on point.
I record a lot of my workouts. Usually it’s just for me, but I always work harder knowing there’s a chance I’ll post part of it to IG or send it to Lauren.
I usually follow the schedule, but I also listen to my body. If cardio is on the schedule but I’m craving sculpt, I’ll swap the days around. I find it’s a lot easier to work at a 10 when I’m up for it mentally.
Lindsay M.
How long have you've been a Studio LB Member? How do you practice Studio LB?
It's been so long it's hard to remember! I think I officially joined Studio LB in April of 2017.
I usually follow the full length schedule, six (ok, sometimes seven) days a week. I will swap in a Quick Burn or stack a few Quick Burns in if I have early meetings, am traveling, or just not up to a full length workout. I work out first thing in the morning, so limiting decisions helps to make sure I get going!
What are some of your tips to stay committed and self-motivate?
No snoozing. It's a slippery slope. I set two alarms at 6:35 and 6:50 to make sure I get moving by 7. I'm a morning person, and know that no matter what I tell myself I won't work out after a long day at work. (Not gonna lie though, sometimes I lie in bed and read the workout description on the blog repeatedly before getting up.)
If I'm not really feeling it, I pick one of my favorite Quick Burns, usually a Standing Abs or Flow, to get myself moving. I usually end up feeling motivated and, if I have time, add another favorite QB that suits my mood and available time for the day. I do try for at least 40 minutes a day.
When I'm traveling, I usually do favorite workouts in my room or in the gym (Rocky is one of my hotel gym favorites). Quick Burns are easier for me to get motivated for an in-room workout, and Standing Abs are great for limited space.
If I'm REALLY not feeling it, or am stressed about getting to work on time, I take a rest day. I know rest days are important... but on days that I want to workout, I do, so that I can take real rest days when needed and not stress about it.
I also used to write each workout down on a calendar so I could look back at all the workouts and QBs that I'd done and star ones that I liked. I just follow the schedule now, but when getting started, seeing that you did x number of workouts a week can be really rewarding.
What are some of you tips to help yourself work at a 10 instead of a 5?
Definitely having a mirror. I have a cheap wall mirror that I prop up for my workouts - it really is a game-changer. I'm all about form and Lauren's cues, so having the mirror is helpful to maintain proper form and for inspiration, like when I glimpse new muscle tone or notice how crazy sweaty I've gotten (TMI?).
If I'm feeling lower energy, I might drop down the weights or skip them to focus 100% on proper form. It feels mentally easier to keep going and is challenging in a different way. Or, I'll make sure I'm using heavier weights to up the burn during sculpting sections, for instance, if my cardio stamina is down. For me, it's really about knowing how I feel and what kind of movement will suit my mood and physical state.

How long have you've been a Studio LB Member? How do you practice Studio LB?
I’ve been a Studio LB member since its inception, however, I’ve had two babies since then (two kids in three years) so I’ve stopped and started a bit. After my second child in April 2019, I was determined to get back into shape, so I started working out 4-5 days a week depending on what the week looks like. Lauren gave me weekly schedules made for me (which was awesome) and now I’ve been DIY for a few months now.
What are some of your tips to stay committed and self-motivate?
I have no idea how I stay motivated, there are so many days where I’d rather do anything than exercise. BUT I want to look my best and having two kids under three years old…I’ve got to keep my stamina at peak as much as possible. I’ve worked out through some of the lowest lows of my life this year and so many times I really just wanted to give up. But no matter what, when I’m done, it’s always worth it.
What are some of you tips to help yourself work at a 10 instead of a 5?
With my workouts the proof really is in the effort. I add 2 lb. ankle weights to almost every cardio + sculpt and lift heavy with most sculpt workouts. When I feel pain I always lean off the add-ons and focus on other areas. My biggest change came when I ripped my shirt off and started exercising in only a bra and leggings. I have so much puffiness still from my second (she’s 11 months) but I didn’t care - It forced me to suck in at the gym and keep my core engaged. I can almost see that line down my stomach even with some abdominal separation lingering. You get out what you put in…end of story.
How to survive (& thrive in) Quarantine
I’m on day nine of quarantine here in LA and omg I’ve had my moments but overall I’m still smiling. I wanted to wait at least a full week before I gave you some tips on how to survive (and thrive in) this state. I’m keeping this short and sweet and I’ll be updating as time goes on.
Shower - Just do it everyday. Oh, and shave. The mental and physical reset is key.
Wear real clothes - Get out of the sweats…I promise you’ll feel so much better. Time has lost all meaning —Don’t lose yourself!
Go outside - Fresh vibes and fresh air feel so good. I’ve been taking two-three walks daily and also working outdoors whenever possible. I’m in So Cal so this is easy for me but do whatever you can to get outdoors.
Exercise - How lucky are we that we have Studio LB? The weekly Program and the fact that the technique is rooted in cheer makes it so empowering and perfect for right now. So many people are new and struggling with at-home fitness. I’m getting the vibe that many feel like working out from home is subpar but honestly it just takes some getting used to.
Find the humor - These are some serious times so all smiles on deck. Memes, laughing with friends, making people smile…it all helps.
Meal Plan - Quarantine isn’t free reign to eat (and drink) whatever you want whenever you want and I can promise you that you will really regret it if you do. Make sure you’re drinking water, eating meals and not just snacking.
Support local restaurants - If you’re able to order healthy take-out, please do! Help support small local businesses who are really suffering. It’ll make you feel a sense of normalcy, as well.
Clean & clear your space - Do a deep spring clean get everyone in your home on the same page.
Make a to-do list - It’ll help give you a sense of purpose and really get things done.
Music - Turn off the news and turn on the music. I’m working on a playlist for you!
Get creative - A couple of days ago I picked up a taco kit from Guerrilla Tacos here in LA and within 30 minutes I named all 3/23/20 Studio LB workouts AND came up with so much content. It’s easy to forget how much our everyday life fuels our creativity. Do whatever you can from art to music —It’ll also inspire the little ones in your life to get off the screens and play.
Dance - Morning and night I blast music and freestyle. Get your crew involved. Energy OUT, guys!
Reach out and talk - I don’t mean small talk. Tell your friends WHY you’re angry, why you have a tattoo shaped like Europe, and why you don’t like his/her ex-boyfriend or girlfriend. Go on for hours about things that might not seem all that important. It’s cathartic.
Video chat - Take a break from texting and go face-to-face whenever you can. It’s SO helpful and it’ll strengthen your bonds and make you feel good.
Make peace - This is the ultimate reset, right? Let whatever it is go between you and your ex or your family and friends. Who cares about the past at this point?
Stay positive - Protect your mental health. Out with the negativity, in with the positivity. Being positive and having positive thoughts will definitely attract everything good.
Enjoy this pause - There is a lot of hardship with our current situation but there is a special freedom here that we’ve been granted. This will not last forever. Try and find the positive in it!
LAUREN BOGGI X THE BRAND IS FEMALE PODCAST
Movement is medicine. I spoke with Eva Hartling, The Brand Is Female (sponsored by TD Canada) about the importance of moving in today’s landscape, how I’m dealing, and the one thing that I wish women would do more of! Have a listen.
CURRENT BEAUTY
Spring is at our heels and it’s the perfect time to swap out your palate. You guys are always asking me what products I’m using and right now I’m loving this golden look that is glowy, isn’t overdone and works both on and off-camera.
Skin: Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua Foundation & RMS Beauty Master Mixer
Eyes: Glossier Skywash in Pebble Glossier Boy Brow in Clear & Westman Atelier Eye Love You Mascara in Clean Black
Lips: Generation-G in Like
Cheeks: Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Chouchette
LAUREN'S MORNING ROUTINE
Can you tell us about your morning routine?
Well, I single parent three - four days a week so I have a lot on my plate in the mornings! Hectic is oftentimes an understatement. I love the quiet of early mornings; waking up around 5:30 AM allows me to decompress, have some me time and prepare my day instead of just going straight into incoming communication, work and being a mom.
I’m really not the greatest water drinker so I always make myself drink a large glass of water with lemon and turmeric while my coffee brews. I’ll write out my to-do list on my phone (without checking my email), prioritize my day, and I TRY to set an intention for the day but it doesn’t always happen. From there, I turn on some music and free flow on my mat in the living room while the sun rises and Mars is still sleeping. Moving early in the day really inspires me and gets my creativity flowing. I have more energy at night but I create my best content in the AM. I do this on an empty stomach because fasted cardio gives us a surge of anti-aging human growth hormone and it keeps my head so much clearer. I’m a believer! Then, I shower and check Studio LB hotline messages and social media.
I wake Mars up at 7AM and we’re out the door just before 8AM. School drop off is at 8:30 AM in Hollywood and I swear that some days I feel like I’ve run a marathon by 9AM. Mom’s know - Sometimes it’s kinda like herding a cat. It’s crazy! A few days a week after drop-off I’ll grab a Cubano at The Commissary with my girlfriend Janeesa and then once I’m back home, I get straight to work as half of my team is east coast-based. I’ll make a collard wrap or a quick breakfast salad with spinach, quinoa, a hard boiled egg, and salmon or chicken, or I’ll blend up a low-sugar smoothie at 11AM and then I’m in hair and makeup and on-camera and in production starting at noon. I do pre-production on Mondays and it has made my week so much better. No more Sunday blues!
What is your sanity saving non-negotiable in the morning?
LB: Fresh air and music are high priority for me in the AM. I never watch or listen to the news it just gives me really bad vibes.
Favorite way to treat yourself?
LB: I am all about getting away or traveling somewhere new. Oh, and going out to HH with my girls. I just love to have a good time and feel alive. Life is all about living, right?
You’re on-camera so much. How do you manage over-stimulation? Do you have any tips on managing that stress?
LB: I have to be very ON for my work so it takes a lot out of me and it’s tough to come down sometimes. Unwinding at night (another article for another time) is a challenge. I’m naturally a night owl and can easily get a second wind at 10PM so if I don’t put myself to bed, I’m happily up working until 1AM. I personally manage my daytime stress with movement and some gratitude, and as I write this after a super full day I am thankful that I have a strong, healthy body and get to do what I do, and that people love Cardio-Cheer-Sculpting. Perspective.
Tell us where you find AM peace.
LB: I feel really lucky to live where I do here in Southern California; the city, the beach, desert, and the mountains are all so close and accessible. Growing up on the east coast I specifically find my peace outdoors now all year long and I love it. I also love sailing and at some point I really want to sail out here. Being on the water is my ultimate and I have such an infatuation with the Pacific, although I’m somewhat terrified of what’s under the water!
Describe something that has changed your morning world since you moved to LA.
You know, the past few years have really made me realize the impact of my own attitude on the quality of my life…especially in the morning. I’ve always been an optimist, but I’m not really a morning person. Choosing to be positive at the start of the day and having a positive attitude everyday is more important than anything else in the AM.
Having a positive attitude (or a negative one) can make or break any situation: A business, a family, a friendship - And it’s more impactful than success, failure, work ethic, and even talent, imo. I am totally convinced that life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we positively or negatively react to it.
STUDIO LB BEGINNER GUIDE
We have so many new members around here and I wanted to say a quick hello and write out a beginner’s guide to getting started with the Studio LB program. First things first - Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here and ready to sweat with me.
Now that you’ve signed up, you can do Studio LB anywhere, any time, on any device. I’d recommend downloading our iOS app for the best on-the-go viewing experience. Each month a new progressive program begins, with Week 1 delivering the building blocks that grow increasingly more challenging by the end of the month.
Equipment you’ll need to get started:
Mat
Light weights (3lbs)
Medium weights (5lbs)
Heavy weights (8-12lbs)
Wrist weights (1-2lbs)
If you’re brand new to my method, returning to working out in general, or if choreography feels like a foreign language to you, we have a BEGINNER SERIES I would strongly recommend as your first few workouts until you feel familiar with the basics. The Beginner Series has three 25-minute sessions and serves as an intro to fundamental bio-mechanical principles, proper form, breathing techniques, and our core exercises. Even though these are intro level workouts, you’ll definitely still get a good burn.
Each Monday morning, you’ll receive an email with two schedules for the week in your inbox: THE PROGRAM and QUICK BURN. A fresh delivery of new content goes live Monday morning at 5AM Eastern time.
If you’re already working out 4 to 5 times per week with a mix of cardio and strength, feel free to dive right into THE PROGRAM’s two new 40-50 minute workouts per week schedule. This is the heart and soul of Studio LB and will deliver the most significant rapid results. You’ll generally do each session twice throughout the week, plus one or both of the shorter Quick Burns, and a rest or yoga day.
If it has been awhile since you have been in a solid fitness routine, I’d suggest following the QUICK BURN schedule until you build your stamina and strength. Quick Burn workouts are 12-30 minute workouts for the member who is tight on time or looking for a little less vigorous exercise. Some of these workouts have been my absolute favorites to create, and they can also serve as add-ons to the longer workouts if you’re feeling ambitious.
As a member, you now also have access to the FULL LIBRARY of hundreds of past workouts so feel free to explore those too. Sometimes you’re really in the mood for a Loops workout or Wrist Weight session and these can be found under the “Search by Prop” section on my app or streaming studio.
Connect socially with me and other members on Instagram @laurenboggi and join our private community Facebook page here. Whenever you have questions, feel free to reach out via email (hello@laurenboggi.com), on our text hotline 424-327-5470. I’m excited to have you along for the ride!
LB PODCASTS
When I’m not creating new CCS sequences or joining you for our scheduled rest/yoga day each week, I like to walk/run through the canyons near my house listening to podcasts. I also fit them in when I’m grocery shopping or in the car. Here are a few podcasts I’m loving lately and wanted to share.
13 Minutes to the Moon
I’ve never felt so small or so connected to this planet after listening to 13 Minutes to the Moon. It’s mind-blowing and astronauts are just SO freaking badass.
Second Life
Who What Wear Co-Founder, Hillary Kerr’s podcast, Second Life highlights successful women who’ve made career changes and fearlessly mastered the pivot at every age.
That Thing About Pam
My friend Calma introduced me to Dateline’s podcast, That Thing About Pam and the subject is dark but I was shocked, laughed out loud, and loved Keith Morrison as the narrator.
Science VS
Whenever I start to feel myself being influenced by a fad or a trend in the wellness sphere, Science VS is always there to bring me back down to fact-based Earth! Their episodes about Fasting Diets and Fertility both drew me in and gave new insights on the topics. The podcast definitely has a pop science vibe overall, but that keeps me awake, alert and interested in listening more.
The goop Podcast
Have you guys watched The Politician on Netflix? Gwyneth Paltrow has gotten a lot of flak over the years for unusual wellness advice and generally being out of touch with reality, but her role in The Politician makes me think she’s kind of in on the joke. After watching, I decided to give her goop podcast a chance. She has covered some fascinating topics with interesting guests (Peggy Orenstein’s episode is worth a listen), and at 45 minutes to an hour each they’re the perfect length for a low and slow cardio session.
TEDTalks Health
It’s both my passion and my career to stay up to date on what’s new in fitness and health science, so it makes sense that I love this Ted Talk podcast. TEDTalks Health is less about fitness, and more pertaining to overall mental and physical health. As each expert discusses medical breakthroughs, wellness habits and trends, or developments in health sciences I find my walk passing by quicker because I’m listening so intently.

BABY2BABY GALA 2019
Giving back never goes out of style! If you follow me on IG, you probably saw that I attended the Baby2Baby Gala this past Saturday. Over the past two years many of you have asked me what Baby2Baby does. The non-profit provides children living in poverty, ages 0-12 years, with diapers, clothing and all the basic necessities that every child deserves.
This year we raised over 4.7 million dollars for children in need at the 2019 Baby2Baby gala. Along with attending the gala and donating volunteer time, Studio LB supports a child in need every holiday season by adopting-a-family through their Family2Family Program. I always request that we are matched with a family who has a boy the same age as Mars so that he learns just how fortunate he is all year and especially during the holiday season.
There are so many families out there who have to choose between food and diapers, and can’t afford basics let alone holiday gifts for their kids. Baby2Baby’s Family2Family program gives you wish list information along with a shopping checklist to buy warm clothes and gifts for a homeless family with young children ages 0-12 in L.A. If you are living outside of L.A. you can look for similar programs in Baby2Baby’s national network.

It’s the final week of October! I have good news and bad news. I’ll start with the bad…there is no new Cardio + Sculpt workout this week. I apologize, but unfortunately with the wildfires I just couldn’t hack it (no pun intended). There was a brush fire in a nearby canyon and it was just not worth the heath risk.

Neon is a 46-min. total-body, light and heavy weight cardio + sculpt that is so fun. The cardio breakdown progresses to burpees, pushups, see-saws, and weighted sculpt series. This week’s sculpt Ok, Go is a 45-min. total-body standing 3x3 with a great flow. Expect to feel this everywhere, it’s so killer.

You’ll feel like you’re not working very hard but this workout brings a delayed second day sore. Effortless is an 12-min weighted sculpt QB that is great for all levels or when you are short on time. Use 5 lbs. to really up the burn.
Featured Music: Diplo, Masego, Afro-B, Doja Cat, Lil Nas X, Ed Sheeran
We’re feeling it: Shoulders, hips, glutes, quads, inner and outer thighs.

Welcome to week three of the Oct. Program! This week is total-body as usual, but with an upper body focus. If you're new or coming back from hiatus, follow our Quick Burn schedule and reach out to us on the hotline: 424-327-5470! I’ve programmed Sculpt first this week but if you’re looking to do cardio Mothership will be in-studio by 12PM EST.
This week's workouts: Mothership, Static, Stevie & No.Nine
New Full-Length Workouts: Mothership begins with a brief CCS series and progresses into a fun and sweaty dance-based breakdown with a few extra reps, burpees, walk-outs and pushups. The weighted standing sculpting is simple yet really effective and can be done with light or heavier weights. This week’s sculpt, Static is a 45-min. total-body, core and upper body workout that is both grounded and standing…and it will leave you shaking! Your core, upper body and pecs will be feeling this. *I named it Static because it gives you trouble but also it’s the last workout that we filmed before my mic bit the dust. It’s a great one, but apologies for the less than optimal audio.
Quick Burn Workouts: Stevie is a 20-min. Cardio Abs & Arms Quick Burn that really targets the abs and upper body (grab your wrist weights!) and No. 9 is an 11-min bodyweight QB that really packs a punch. You won’t be exhausted but trust me, it works perfectly as an add-on to a lower body QB (like Poison, Milkshake or Toni’s Booty) or full length workout.
Featured Music: Post Malone, Sean Paul, Michelle Kash, ROSALIA, Lizzo, Swae Lee, Sofi Tukker, Aazar, M.I.A., Radiohead, Bazzi, & Crumb.

OFF-DUTY BEAUTY
Less is more. I wear an obscene amount of makeup when I’m working on-camera, but my off-duty routine is pretty bare-skinned, and minimal. A few things I can't live without: Dove Beauty Bar, Supergoop Everyday Sunscreen, SPF 50, Shani Darden's Retinol Reform magically erases all my sun damage and keeps my skin glowing, and Supergoop Lipscreen in SPF 50 protects my lips from the intense California sun. As for makeup, I love Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.

This week's workouts: Megababe, Back, Charlie & Miss Booty
New Full-Length Workouts: Megababe will leave you feeling like a megababe. It begins with classic CCS and progresses into a fun dance-based breakdown with extra reps, burpees and pushups The looped and weighted sculpting portion is both grounded and standing. This week’s sculpt, Back is a 50-min. total-body, core sculpting workout that combines some of our classic, most loved and most effective grounded core work. It will leave you balanced. Don’t let lack of intensity fool you…this work is crucial!
Quick Burn Workouts: Charlie is a 21-min standing and grounded standing abs and lower body Quick Burn that utilizes a medium resistance loop. I love that this one really gets it all without fully fatiguing the muscles. Miss Booty is a 15-min lower body focused Quick Burn that really packs a punch (I was sore for days). Go with heavy weights to get the most out of it! .

This week's workouts: This Is It, The Truth, Baller & Peachy
New Full-Length Workouts: his Is It is a sweat-fest. It begins with a longer, cheer-heavy CCS cardio series and progresses into a breakdown with extra reps, burpees, pushups and see-saws. The sculpting portion is challenging and includes light weight swing throughs and pick-ups (watch your back!). This week’s sculpt, The Truth is a 50-min. total-body, core sculpting dowel workout that combines some of my favorite and most effective standing and grounded core work.
Quick Burn Workouts: Baller is a 17-min core basics (not easy!) Quick Burn with and on the ball. Expect to work your abs, arms, inner and outer thighs. Peachy is a 10-min cardio core focused Quick Burn that is perfect tacked onto your favorite sculpting workout or by itself.
