My abs are still sore.
Practically every time I hear acelebrity spill their favorite workout, its Pilates.
Speir Pilates Workouts
Speir founded her namesake Pilates studio in 2015 alongside Liz Polk.
Think muscle-isolating barre moves, a peppy instruction style, and dumbbell-focused strength routines.
While the in-person workouts last 50 minutes, the on-demand sessions run anywhere from five to 60 minutes.
This class featured onebanded booty-burning moveafter another.
We started with rounds ofglute bridgesthat, in true Pilates style, featured lots of quick up-and-down pulses.
I was mega-slouching most of the time, so it was nice to be reminded about proper form.
The Verdict
If Im ever in LA, Id definitely pop into a Speir studio.
But with the online workouts, I dont even need to.
