After our CPR Training taught by none another then Lieutenant Betty from FDNY, we love her spunk, LLD enjoyed a new kind of work out hosted by Pure Yoga West. Pure Yoga, which Access Hollywood calls the place where you can “be fit like Jennifer Aniston”, hosted LLD for our first Figure 4 experience!
Created
by professional ballet dancer Kate Albarelli, Figure 4 combines elements of
classic dance training, Pilates, yoga, and free weights. This combination is
part of a high energy class that works the heart and the limbs in tandem for
faster, more effective results, helping to create a long, toned and flexible
body.
Our
instructor Kerry rocked. The full-time publishing executive, dancer for more
than 20 years and performing arts scholar at The George Washington University
also happens to be four months pregnant so she showed us how the movements can
easily be done for expecting mothers as well as for non-expecting beginners aka
all of us!
The
class was NOT easy! We moved muscles we
didn’t know we had. Kerry’s motivation, call-outs by name (which I personally
love) and high-powered energy made the class both informational, enjoyable and
an awesome new work-out.
And
you MUST check out Pure Yoga West’s digs. The place is paradise. Quietly placed on 77th Street and
Amsterdam conveniently next door to Equinox & Soul Cycle it’s a fitness
guru’s dream. Pure Yoga presents a home
and a playground for the modern yogi, and a source of inspiration for the
spirit, the soul, and the body.

"Figure
4 is perfect for mothers. As I'm about to find out first-hand, moms don't
necessarily have a ton of free time. In just one hour, Figure 4 tones and
strengthens the entire body without a second to waste, so you're using the time
you do have SMARTLY! We work the thighs, arms, abs and glutes using
aspects of ballet training, yoga, pilates and strength conditioning. It
targets both the superficial and the smaller interior muscles, leaving you with
a longer, leaner physique,” said Kerry.
