Like Marissa, I love Core Fusion because it's a total body workout that leaves your muscles quivering.
Total Calories Burned: 565 (In the Zone) -Lindy Segal
The music is generally pretty awesome too, and it helped me make this the in-the-zone workout my body has been needing since, oh, Thanksgiving. (I've never been much of a runner, see.) It's a high-energy spin class that incorporates small weights and core moves so you work your entire body. You have to get used to the inspirational She-Warrior sayings and such, but I find the music and the pace my speed-and it's one of the only cardio workouts that I can sustain for an entire hour. While not a regular, I've done SoulCycle several times and I really enjoy it. Total Calories Burned: 281 (Moderate Intensity) -Lindy Segal Overall, it felt like more of a strength-building workout than a cardio-heavy one. I focused a little too much on everything my instructor was saying and got a little distracted from pushing myself at times, but now that I've been once I feel like I'll be much more in the game for next time. There were also bursts of push-ups and sit-ups to keep the momentum going. We used small weights (2 to 6 pounds) on the floor during one part, and another part focused on ballet-esque movements using the bar for stability. This was the first time I had ever done The Bar Method-and whoa, I felt the burn for a good three days after the class! The idea is that you do small, specific movements until that muscle fatigues (they say it's the quickest way to see results, and I have a friend who swears by it). Total Calories Burned: 201 (Moderate Intensity) -Marissa Gold Workout Tested: BariONE This was my first time trying Bari I felt like I was working out, but I definitely wasn't pushed hard enough to be out of breath or sweaty. I rated this one moderate intensity, as it ended up being one of the easier ones I've done. The one-hour classes don't include a lot of bouncing-they're all about small, muscle-specific moves done on the floor or at the ballet barre. Here are the results: Workout Tested: Core Fusion Barre I've been taking these popular barre-based classes for a few years now and love the way they tone up each body part, one at a time. To give you an idea of how hard we worked, we rated each workout with the Jawbone's standardized system (Easy, Moderate, In the Zone, or Gut Buster). In order to find out, I had us all wear activity-monitoring bracelets (we all used Jawbone UP for consistency) to help us actually pinpoint the calorie burn of our favorite exercise classes. All of us here at are into fitness, but sometimes we wonder just how many calories we're really burning during the various workouts we try.
