Pilates Meets Boxing!

Ladies, if you haven't yet, you need to try Piloxing! Relax! It's not as scary as it sounds! Designed by Viveca Jensen exclusively for women,  it incorporates Pilates and boxing into an hour long interval workout.  In just one class, it's possible to burn 400+ calories. The workout combines cardio and strength training; utilizing weighted boxing gloves, your own body strength and fun dance moves. The first 45 minutes is nonstop intervals and the last 15 minutes is floor work i.e. core and stretching. At the end of each class, the group of amp'd up women shout out the workout's mantra: Sleek, Sexy and Powerful.  I certainly leave each class feeling as such.  Every sweat gland in my body is spewing in a good way. 


I'm lucky enough to have the original studio with Viveca herself at my fingertips.  I recommend her class as well as Cortney's. I absolutely love them both!  My experience with both instructors is that they have a way of making us feel confident in ourselves and our bodies.  It must be their awesome personalities and positive attitudes. Definitely contagious! 


I have to point out just how aware they are of everyone of their students.  They're very adamant about technique and making sure each person uses proper form.  So no matter the size of the class,  it's nice to know special attention is given to everyone when needed.  It speaks volumes when instructors actually take the time to help their students maximize their fullest potential.  


When I take Piloxing, I feel leaner, stronger, more flexible and overall more sexy and beautiful.  It's a very pleasant and empowering environment. I feel an unspoken bond amongst my fellow Piloxers in the sea of hot pink and black; which just so happens to be my favorite color combination! No hostility, just a united front. 


First class at the studio is $10 and gloves are provided for first timers only.  If you don't have access to the studio, I recommend buying the DVD or finding a club that offers it.  It's a rapidly growing workout that's expanding both nationally and internationally.  Get on it!
