After what seems like the longest winter in years, daylight savings time is finally upon us, and we are giving those chilly months—and all the same old exercises we tried in the last three months—the cold shoulder.
If you’re looking for a fresh start when it comes to your fitness routine, there’s no better time than now! Seize the day (and the warmer season) with four of our favorite workouts that will keep you on your toes well through summer.
Have you ever wanted to look fly while actually flying? Earn your wings and seriously tone your muscles with an aerial class. Studios like AIR West Hollywood are more than just aerial yoga—their workouts will test your strength while defining gravity. Plus, you don’t have to be a frequent flyer to take advantage of the full-body benefits. With classes meant for all levels, you’ll get a hands-on lesson from instructors who fuse everything from Pilates to HIIT so you can find your flow, no mat required.
You don’t have to have rhythm (or experience) to reap the benefits from a dance class. Just get ready, grab your sneakers, and sweat it out to some booty-shaking songs. Newer boutique studios like 305 Fitness—with locations in NYC, Boston, Washington DC, and LA—offer a live DJ, mood lighting and crazy cool workout classes. Or if you want to *actually* channel your inner Beyonce, check out Confidance in San Francisco! It’s all about burning calories to sick beats and bringing the club to the fitness classroom.
*Literally* spring into spring with a rebounding class! Whether you’re a beginner or a pro-athlete, everyone can benefit from this full-body, muscle toning, training workout that’s more than just childhood nostalgia. Studios like TrampoLEAN in NYC utilize smaller trampolines and other accessories, including resistance bands, to help you focus on balance while getting your cardio on. Plus, rebounding classes are low-impact, so your joints won’t be hurting post-class!
Add a little fresh air to your workout by welcoming the warmer months with an invigorating bootcamp or circuit training class outside. Many studios on Mindbody offer workouts in local parks (and parking lots). Work on your strength while challenging your body in a new environment. Say goodbye to those gym walls and hello to blue skies!
Whether you're looking to take to the air or want to keep your feet on the ground, elevate your fitness routine and get after your goals with Mindbody.
