Dance Party Boot Camp with Deborah Hirsch and Timaree Schmit
Push your fitness routine to the next level with this twist on high-intensity interval training, which incorporates explosive, athletic exercises into dance routines. One minute, you’ll be grooving, the next you might be hitting the ground for burpees or springing up into jump squats. To maximize aerobic capacity, you’ll keep dancing even as you “recover” from the highest intensity movements. Don’t worry, though: You’ll be so energized by the moves and music that you won’t even mind working so hard.
