30-Minute Fast-Paced Pilates Workout

Trainer Jake DuPree wants to help you get ready for the beach — and stat!  Focusing on the abs and butt, this 30-minute workout starts with a bang and just keeps going and going — in the best way possible.  Your heart rate stays up while you tone and sculpt, which is always a bonus.  Plus, you don't need any equipment, just a can-do attitude and sense of humor.

Just a note:  Jake has a very adult sense of humor, so if you work out with your kids, we recommend skipping this workout.  Here's another great 30-minute cardio-infused Pilates workout to try instead.

At-Home Ab Workout: 10-Minute Video

You have to mix up your moves to get cut abs, and this 10-minute workout does just that.  After a short warmup, be prepared to go all out with a core-focused circuit filled with plank and roll-up variations that will leave your abs burning.  For a fun twist on the basic plank, we use towels for gliders to make those variations more challenging.  You can use gliders if you have them, or if you are on carpet, opt for paper plates.  Press play, and get ready to feel the burn.

Quiet Workout | 10-Minute Strength Training

We don't want the cranky downstairs neighbors or a napping child to interfere with your fitness life, so we made a quiet workout.  You can still burn calories and build muscle without all that noisy jumping around.  Grab a mat (to muffle any noise you might make), a light set of dumbbells, and get ready to work — quietly.
