Get out of your fitness rut with Lagree DC

admin — Fri, 19 Jul 2019 17:25:54 +0000

In a fitness rut? Then it may be time to switch things up. I go through this every few months. I feel a little bored with my workouts so instead of falling off the wagon all together I love incorporating new workouts into my routine. I lift heavy 3 days a week, so in-between I like to do something different to diversify my regimen. My newest addiction is Lagree Dc. Think Solid Core or the hardest Pilates class you’ve ever taken and then multiply that by 10 and you have Lagree! But seriously it’s an ahhmazing full body lengthening/strengthening 50 min workout that will leave your body shaking so you know it worked! It’s no wonder celebs and models are obsessed with Lagree. The Lagree Method is a multi-faceted workout that combines resistance training and cardio into one comprehensive, balanced system to strengthen, tighten, and tone the body. Varying degrees of spring-based tension allow the Lagree Method to adjust to the user during use. This immediate adaptability creates a tailored experience that is unique to the student. Because of this, Lagree is the ideal method for all ages and fitness levels. The entire class is done on the megaformer. The class is […]

Summer Workout Tips

Summer Workout Tips Living in DC, we all know how hot and sweaty it can get here in the summertime. The humidity can be god awful during the summer months and sometimes the last thing you want to do is hit the gym. Instead of giving in to the extreme heat, I’m sharing my tips to keep myself cool even in the sweatiest of months! Drink LOTS of Water – This is something that I always struggle with but it’s super important in the hot summer months. The more you sweat, the more water you need. So make sure you are drinking plenty of water before, during and after workouts. Be sure you are getting AT LEAST 0.4 to 0.8 liters per hour. After exercise, drink 16 to 24 ounces of water for every pound lost.
