Pilates Lovers and Dancing Queens 

Blogilates has opened up their entire arsenal of videos to the public for the next few weeks so that people can stay active! They have an amazing range of content that are all cleverly named to keep you inspired. From “Bad Guy Booty” to “Señorita Abs” these classes are a great way to keep your fitness goals in check. They even have a filter where you can search their database based on what part of your body you want to workout and the level of fitness you want to workout at!

 They also offer dance tutorial videos as well! We love their Hardcore Heels Dance videos as they give you the high impact workout you are looking for but make you feel like you’ve just gone out for a night of dancing with your girls! Alternatively, if you are a nostalgic musical junkie, their “Grease” inspired cardio dance workout will be exactly what you need to uplift your mood and pump up your heart rate.
