stronger (than yesterday)
A fun step up routine straight out of a Britney Spears music video. We couldn't quite figure out how to fit in the spinning chairs, but step ups seemed challenging enough. A few safety tips! Make sure your chair is secure and won't tip over or slide out from underneath you. Set it up next to a wa...

sucker for step ups
Ever done step ups for 3 minutes straight? This routine is easy to learn and will go by quickly once you've got the steps down. Make sure you have a sturdy surface to step up on and focus on keeping your form while matching your reps to the music. To level up, add ankle weights and/or hold a dumb...

(tricep) dip it low
We are building upper body strength and focusing on holding up our body weight in this one. The further your legs go out on the tricep dips, the harder it is.

Booty in the USA
This one takes a few tries to get the rhythm down, but Booty in the USA will humble you by the second verse. We recommend sizing down your weights and testing before you commit to any specific weight. The chest flies are no joke by the end of the song and you don't want to burn out too quickly. W...

won't BACK down
No mods on this one! Adjust your weight for your fitness level and match your reps to the natural cadence of the song. Because half of this song requires a two hand touch, go up on your weight higher than you think you need.
