Pilates Total Core is Day 23 in Heather Robertson‘s HR12Week 5.0 program. Heather's weighted pilates fusion type workouts are always tough and this one is no exception.

10 Minutes Rebounding HIIT Detox is a deceiving rebounder workout! When I previewed it I thought it was going to be easy but it was more cardio-intense than I expected. It is not one of Claire's most intense workouts out there and "HIIT" may not be accurate (High Intensity Interval Training). It is made up … Continue reading SanFran Fitness: 10 Minutes Rebounding HIIT Detox
