Hey Beasties! I originally filmed this for IG, forgetting, of course, their time restriction on videos! So, rather than waste the work, I’ve decided to go ahead and share it here. This cardio class has modifications for beginners as well as pre and postnatal folks. Best of all, you can do it in your living room with nothing but yourself and a mat (optional: chair/countertop for prenatal planking!). Happy sweating…
