Move of the day: The Mermaid

Today it’s time to stretch and tone! Our trainer Robbie Ann Darby calls today’s move “The Mermaid,” because it will have you reaching as long and lean as that Disney princess you loved back in the day. This move is a great core stabilizer (hello, abs!) and will tone your booty. For the runners, it will also open up those tight hips.

Like Aaliyah says: Work the middle, work the middle! Aim for 3 mermaids, and hold each for 15 seconds. Want a little more? Add on yesterday’s plank and hold for 30 seconds. Shaking is a good sign… it means you’re getting stronger!

Pair your mermaid with a 30 minute yoga session, and your workout is done!

A moment for you: “The truth is, it’s a lot of sacrifice. It’s more about your mental strength than physical strength. You have to push yourself.”- Beyoncé
