The Pilates Burn
Intense Pilates Workouts & Burning Man Fashion Preview
Its the end of Summer and with it comes the last chance to show off those festive shorts, rose gold dresses and sparkling crop tops I've seen you wearing all season.
Let’s send out summer with a sizzle. I've got six hardcore prop based Pilates total body workouts.
Wanna see what I train for? Check out my Burning Man 2018 Fashion Preview! Fashion has always been a huge part of my life. When I'm dressed in an outfit that I feel confident and sexy in, I feel ready to conquer the world!
If you’re off to a late summer shindig, I got the hottest Festival Fashion designers for their picks of the 2018 festival and Burning Man season. This 7-day art and music filled event in the Black Rock dessert is known for its stunning locale, harsh environment, party buses, the fire of burning effigies and of course OUTFITS. Since the age of Woodstock, we have seen how clothing can define a generation and how music shapes the way we dress.
Pilates keeps me in shape all year but when I have tickets in one hand and a tiny outfit in the other- you can bet my workouts get more intense!
Add climbing to the below list...
I up my cardio activities since festivals always mean lots of standing, walking and dancing. I broke a fitness tracker at a festival last year. I'm pretty sure it fried from the sheer amount of steps! PRO TIP: get to any festival or event early or you will wind up parked pretty far from the center/ main area/ stages.
I created this workout series based on the way I train before Burning Man or another fun vacation. Use it before your next event or trip! To up the intensity, these workouts all feature two fitness and pilates props. Get your circles, blocks, small dumbbells, resistance bands and gliders ready!

I am lucky to live in the Bay Area where so many legendary indie designers call home. With the proximity to Nevada, San Francisco just can't beat for a wide selection of festival outfits and gear! if you want handmade one of a kind pieces t-made to last those desert trekking and bike rides in extreme heat cold and dusty situations.
Leggings are always such a good choice- for workouts or for festivals! Check out InVisions for ones that are printed from hi-resolution NASA satellite images taken of our planet. Share wonder magic of the planet and the beauty and intricacy of our earth by snagging a pair.

2. Slider & Dumbbell
This 30-minute workout will tone and lengthen your abs, arms, booty, obliques, hips, buns, back and shoulders at an advanced level. Get ready to strengthen your core as you mobilize your spine and stretch out tight muscles.
I am using Sliders here and I have seen them called gliders or core discs or core sliding discs. If you don't have a set - try wearing thick socks on hard floors. If you have carpets try paper plates under your hands or feet.
Bikinis and butterflies are two of my favorite reasons for loving summer! Metalics make me feel bright and shiny like a glittery unicorn! Chrome Monarchy makes great reflective butterfly shaped reasons to get throuh my next workout,,,
