In my opinion, there is nothing better than waking up in the morning and knowing that the workout you did the day before kicked your bum. It is what I like to refer to as hurt so good. In this case, the scene of the crime was The Studio (MDR), which is home to the fitness guru Sebastien Lagree’s SPX/System Dynamique workout.

This revolutionary workout tightens, tones and strengthens your entire body. I took a class called KYLATES and this is definitely not your mother’s Pilates class. It is safe to say that I was feeling the burn in the warm up and dripping sweat within five minutes. The beauty of it was that I could not stop smiling and giggling the entire class because at that very moment my life had just been changed.
