Full-Body Workout Options
During these tough times, many people, including myself, have lost motivation to keep working out. However, summer is right around the corner, and you may still want to get ready for swimsuit season. Here are two simple yet powerful ways to get in shape in a short amount of time.

The Orangetheory FItness chain is offering daily at-home workouts for free. Orangetheory has locations popping up around the country and features guided group workouts where participants rotate between treadmills, rowing machines, and weights, targeting each muscle group. Their Orangetheory @ Home routine uses calisthenics—plus things like towels and milk gallons rather than fancy equipment—to help tone you up into your summer body. They even offer full-body endurance workouts for people who only have a limited time to workout in a day. Highly trained instructors walk you through each workout so you don’t have to struggle. You can access their workouts online or on the Orangetheory mobile app. -
Another great way to get in shape and learn how to dance at the same time is through BollyX on Demand. This new dance workout is inspired by Bollywood, the film industry of India, and has been featured on Shark Tank. BollyX offers the help of professional dancers and workout instructors. Each dance session burns between 500-800 calories. The workouts area available on the website, as well as Roku and Amazon Fire TV. Access normally costs $15 a month, but you get over 400 dance routines. Right now, they’re running an “As Seen On Shark Tank” Sale: $15 for three months, $24 for a year, and $49 for lifetime access.
