Slow January is the perfect time for planting seeds, leaning into rest, and slowly building strong foundations for spring. This week’s new content will land in-studio mid-week.

Meraki (v.) is a Greek word meaning something done with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work.

For me, Meraki is all about the passion that always brings me back to my mat and reminds me why I love what I do.

If you’re practicing from EST or WET/UTC and are getting started for the first time this month, I recommend getting your form in check and beginning with last week’s Full Length Sculpt, Meraki. Otherwise, begin the week with The Natural or with our grounded cardio option, Allmighty. Disco Nap and Palo Santo. Workouts are listed in studio in the order I’d like you to do them.

FULL LENGTH

A Disco Nap is the ultimate expression of self-care but also selflessness, and sometimes has a full eight hours beat. This week’s sculpt is a 3x3 that really goes the extra mile (we do it all in this one) in less time. You’ll need one medium and one heavy weight and a mat.

The Natural combines a new format of Cardio + Sculpt with grounded sculpting that lengthens and strengthens everything. It’s challenging, great for all levels and fun. I really love the flow of it.

Allmighty is our first Grounded Cardio workout. It's all-levels friendly and follows our core basics flow. You'll feel this one everywhere. Use ankle weights to kick it up.

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.

PUSHING YOUR LIMITS

, , ,

Think you’ve hit your ceiling? You haven’t, I promise.

Same diet, same exact workout, same length of time on the mat, (with the same mods), and same comfort zone? Check out my six tips that will help you test your limits, become more connected to movement, push through the good pain, and your next SLB workout.

Go beyond aesthetics. Sure, having a killer bod is a side effect of SLB, but for a lot people, “wanting to look hot” isn’t something that they’re actually emotionally connected to. I’ve found that thinking about strength is more powerful when your trying to power through a plateau.

Break it up. Less can be more. Think about finishing in smaller increments or choose a Quick Burn and give it your all. Cutting the full length into two, 25-minute halves is a lot less daunting and you won’t have that pit of dread that usually starts brewing long before you press play.

Stop watching the numbers. Be present. Being fixated on reps, calorie burn, or how many minutes you have left will only make the time pass more slowly, and will keep you from ever getting fully mentally “in the zone” and in your body. If it’s a hard habit to break, put a piece of tape over the time counter on your screen or your HR monitor.

Know your WHY. I say it all the time, but it’s so important to know and connect to and with your true north.

Really feel it. Find something you enjoy about what you’re doing. I always like to feel like I’m punching above my weight. You’re doing SLB because on some sick level, you enjoy it, right? Remember that. Consider what you “like” about it so that you enjoy the sensation of building muscle rather than just thinking of it as just a painful experience.

Be grateful for the body and mind that allows you to move. When I teach and our hearts are in our throats, I like to remind people what a privilege it is that they can move. It’s easy to forget that being able to work out is a gift. You’re SO BEYOND lucky you get to do 100 squats and lunges.

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day to all…I’m feeling festive with you! This week’s workouts are in-studio listed in the order that I’d like you to do them.

Pick and choose your full length workouts depending on the time you have. Wednesday and Saturday are typically Quick Burn days —Feel free to do a single or double up for a greater burn. The January Program begins on 1/8.

FULL LENGTH

Pas Mal means "not bad" in French. Perfect for the top of the month or when you're wanting a great sweat in under 40 min. Pas Mal combines double breakdown cardio with a brief crazy arms series along with weighted lunges and curtseys in a Cardio + Sculpt + Cardio format. You'll need light to medium weights and a mat. Lift heavy for a challenge. 

Kitchen Sink is a weighted low impact cardio standing core. Wrist weighed key moves with a classic format make this one effective and efficient. You'll need wrist weights or light weights and a set of heavier weights for upper body work. If you didn’t do it in week one, do it now… (or again).

Wasabi is a 32-min abs-focused full-body grounded sculpt that’s perfect for travel and this time of the year. You’ll need a mat and one medium-heavy weight.

BDE is a cool and confident Cardio + Sculpt that includes a double breakdown paired with weighted standing sculpting. You’ll need light weights and a mat.

QUICK BURN

Sleeveless is 25-min of standing sculpting with wrist weights. Wrist weights or light weights can be used.

Upside is a 24-min bodyweight workout that moves from grounded to standing. It has a great flow, and increases flexibility, strength and muscular balance. The Swing through to Pop up Arabesque sequence lifts the glutes like no other. Please use weights to assist.

Geosmin is the scent molecule released from bacteria in dirt after it rains. What's super cool is that the geosmin blends with different aromatics in different environments. In the forest it smells dank yet fresh, and in the city you can smell the blend of hot concrete and cool rain. This 31-min grounded Body weight Recovery utilizes a foam roller and can really be both a Quick Burn and a shorter full length workout. You'll feel good (and sore) and it really targets the upper body and core while releasing tension and muscle soreness.

Bikini Lovers is a 30-min next-level Standing Core Sculpt. The step provides a level change that really increases cardio output while the multi-directional sequencing challenges your balance and body. Please make sure you're utilizing a stable step that can support you. You'll initially feel this in your glutes and deep core. This one is appropriate as a Quick Burn or as a short full-length.

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and and it can crash. Become like water my friend.” - Bruce Lee

Overnight: If I were to put one slb workout in my travel bag this season, this would be it. It's 25-min and to-the-point. You'll need one heavy weight (get creative if you're traveling) and I recommend ankle weights if you're looking to really increase the burn. 

Narcissist is a 21-min QB that really hones in on the abs and hips from all angles. All you'll need is wrist weights to challenge. 

Flowers grow from the ground just as your core is built from the ground up. This brief but effective QB is perfect for when you want to focus on the rectus (six-pack). Ankle weights for extra burn.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday filled with friends, family, love and gratitude. I had a very much-needed friendsgiving that rolled right into my birthday on Saturday. And the best gift that I received was that the city cleared my studio as structurally safe. I was allowed back in so that I can begin to move out, and they can start the two (Imo, three with the holiday) month long process of pulling permits and then rebuilding it.

I love this studio and I was literally just opening in-person and expanding our online studio. It’s so interesting how the universe works, isn’t it? I’m allowing things to happen as they should.

I will begin the week with live workouts that will be saved along with a few great ones from the library. If you take our live streaming workouts that are recorded, you will not be seen by anyone other than me during the workout and also in the recording. Our new VOD content (The Program) will land mid-week.

This week we’re embracing gratitude —Acknowledging all the blessings, love and life that surrounds us all year long.

I feel like I have so much to be thankful for right now. As many of you have seen, a car hit my studio (while I was in it) last Sunday. As I look for a new place to live and work, I’m extremely grateful for the friends who have opened up their home to Mars and I this week.

Workouts are listed in studio playlists in the order that I recommend that you do them. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday week!

Welcome to the November Program. As we enter the holiday season, we’re called into action to lead with self-love and truly step into our power.

The November Program

,

Happy Halloween! This month is a busy one as this week marks the official start of the holiday season.

I had to make a decision on when to hold our gap week. This week is technically the fifth week of October (November begins on Wednesday) and Thanksgiving lands during week four. Historically, you all prefer new content post-Thanksgiving, so we’re going to begin the November Program on November 6th and run through the end of the month instead of taking a gap week post-holiday on Monday, November 27th.

Since October was a little light due to Activation, I have a new 32-minute full body grounded sculpt, Wasabi landing in-studio today along with our schedules, mid-week. You’ll see this in the October Program listed under Week five. If you’re practicing early, please do your favorite full-length cardio + sculpt or whatever you’re feeling.

Stay tuned, I have exciting news landing this week!

Throughout my career I’ve been known for transforming the booty with unique programming and choreography. B-Sides is a total-body workout with an emphasis on the glutes and lats without a bridge in the lineup. You’ll need weights for modifying and a mat.

Suki (means beloved) is the first workout in our new Meditative Movement category, Present. I’m excited to expand on this work and slowly bring you into this world. All you’ll need is a mat, and possibly extra padding for the knees.

LB Activation Portugal Essentials & Tips

,

We’re headed to Alentejo, Portugal! The weather will be beautiful. You can expect it to be warm and sunny during the day and a little chilly at night. We’ll be exploring the countryside and working out in the yoga pavilion, on the beach, in the pool, and heading out on the road (like, hiking and walking to the beach).

I tend to pack light and re-use outfits whenever I can.

Our Activation workouts are hybrid (think: half pool and half studio), so you’ll want supportive bathing suit tops and items that you don’t mind getting dirty on the beach.

We will be in the country, so high heels or anything too dressy isn’t really necessary.

Activation Essentials:

  • 1-2 regular bras

  • 3-5 sports bras

  • 2-3 bathing suits

  • Plenty of socks 

  • Underwear

  • 2 pairs of workout shorts

  • 2-3 workout tops

  • 1-2 pairs workout pants

  • 2 casual sundresses/cover ups

  • 1-2 long sleeve tops (it gets chilly at night)

  • 2-3 casual outfits for dinner at the hotel or going into town for tapas

  • A HAT for beach/pool workouts

  • A pair of sneakers

  • A pair of flip flops or sandals

  • Sunscreen

  • A packable beach bag (We received feedback that a backpack is optimal for when you have to run/walk back from the beach)

  • Tiger Balm

  • Reusable water bottle 

  • Some cash (EUR) – You can pay with a card at our hotel, but if you want to buy something in town, some places are cash only

  • Credit card

  • Passport

  • Medication (your prescriptions, allergies, etc.)

  • Personal First Aid Kit (Bandaids, Knee/ankle braces if you use them for exercise, etc.)

  • Probiotics/Immune Boosting Supplements

  • Don't over-pack, you'll be living in your swimsuit + workout gear.

  • Consider taking Probiotics. Taking probiotics leading up to and throughout the trip may help you combat any digestive issues or upset stomachs that tend to be pretty common when traveling outside of the country. 

  • Please bring your own personal first aid kit.  You may need something for pain, sore muscles (clear-colored tiger balm), cramps, allergies/sinus, PMS, upset stomach, ear plugs, band-aids, Dramamine, sea bands, zinc, after sun balm, or any medications that you take on a regular basis.  If you have ankle or knee issues, don't forget your brace.
