3m 40s
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 wall or put a yoga mat underneath it to keep it from sliding. A bench stair step or ottoman will also work for this routine.
Level One: Focus on completing as many step ups as you can at your own pace during the verses. If you feel like trying box jumps by the end of the month, give it a go! Otherwise we have provided an alternative upper body transition for the instrumental interludes.
Level Two: Focus on increasing reps while keeping form, but don't get cocky. You are holding extra weight after all and stepping up onto a chair! If you try to go to fast, there is a risk of falling. During the instrumental interlude if you feel up to it, try as many box jumps as you can until you burn out. Or you can follow the level one modification.

toxic glutes
Level One: Start slow and steady with just your body weight. Follow the routine but don't worry about reps, go at your own pace but keep your place in the song. Really focus on arching the trajectory of your leg as high as possible during the glute toe taps.

all the feels
With so many compound movements, this song will take a few times to get the routine down. But once you do, the focus should be on both form and repetition. Get deeper in your squats and lunges, smoother with your transitions. Try going up in weights after a few weeks once you've mastered form and...

the bones are good
It's hard not to love this song, especially when you are doing a flow to it! Imagine that these lyrics are about your relationship with yourself and your body. As you roll out your spine and stretch your back, think about the foundation you're building. For level one, follow Steph and work up to ...
