swerve studio makes the A-List

Gillian Marloth & Teigh McDonough - the heart & soul of Swerve Studio, Los Angeles, CA

If you live in LA and haven't tried Yoga Booty Ballet at Swerve Studio yet you MUST GO NOW. Seriously, this place is great! It has the best energy of any fitness studio I have tried. The instructors are tons of fun! All of them. Honestly, I have never taken an unchallenging class at this studio. Ever. Also the people who take classes here are super friendly too. If you can't make it to their studio you're not totally out of luck... they also have a YBB video series. 

These ladies belong at the top of the A-List that's for sure!

want toned arms?

Try out these 7 moves from fitnessmagazine.com to tone up your arms. My fave is #7 - The Aerobox. I've seen major results from doing this a few times a week. Also, another one that seems easy but I think really shapes up arms is #3 - Wrist Rotation. My pilates instructor at Swerve Studio taught me this one years ago and it works!

love your legs!

"the funky ballerina"Even though I grew up taking dance lessons I've never really had those amazingly toned and shapely dancer legs. In fact, I'm pretty sure I inherited my dad's hockey legs. Thanks dad. So, when I found this article on msn "love your legs!" I had to try out their "5 easy dance inspired moves" for myself. I gotta say, my fave is "the funky ballerina."

I know it doesn't look funky at all, but trust me, it feels funky when you're doing it. Anyway I had to keep referring to my laptop for the last few days while I was trying to add these 5 moves into my routine. And what I'm wondering is what other people do when they're adding new moves to their routine? How do you remember them? How do you learn fitness? And how do you make your new moves a habit? Because I'm pretty sure I would forget all 5 of these if I didn't do them consistently for awhile.
