Heart Rate Raising Warm Up, Scorpion, & Oblique Crunch

I knew I was in for an intense workout when I walk in to Kinesis and Erin at Pura Vida Club tells me the warm up:  30 second rounds of jumping jacks, speed squats, butt kicks and high knees, quick rest, then 30 second rounds of jumping lunges, mountain climbers and burpees followed by slide out push ups.

Then on to machines for two exercises of 45 seconds each with one minute jump rope in between each two exercise set.  Talk about non-stop!

Since we did a lot of arms in Kinesis, Pilates was filled with more leg work.  Most of the session was on the Cadillac and wunda chair.

Couple of great exercises for you to try are the scorpion stretch and oblique crunch on your side.

Watch the video to see Erin explaining how to do these two moves.
