How to spice up your Pilates practice

Piloxing 

With an elite celebrity following comprising the likes of Vanessa Hudgens and Hilary Duff, Piloxing has certainly gained pace in recent years. Created by Swedish dancer and celebrity trainer Viveca Jensen, it was born out of a dream to physically and mentally empower individuals by encouraging them to take charge of their health. Combining Pilates, boxing and dance, it’s certainly a hybrid fusion that perhaps old Joe may not have approved of, but it can’t be denied that the class reaps rewards. How does it work? This high-energy interval workout blends weighted glove boxing with the targeted sculpting and flexibility of Pilates with a few dance moves thrown in on top. Sounds strange we’ll admit, but you burn crazy calories and fat while toning muscle and generally feel pretty badass.
