ACE HIH SERIES with Chris Freytag

Seven workouts: four challenging Tabata programs plus toning and yoga sessions. Each Tabata workout focuses on a specific body area with fast-paced cardio and targeted toning. You can choose: upper, lower, total-body or core. Like all Tabata, you’ll work at maximum intensity for 20 seconds, then “rest” for 10 seconds (repeated eight times, before moving on to a different series). While some sequences are aero/tone “intervals,” most blend the toning right into the aerobics (e.g. jump squats that work the legs or “knee thrusts with a hop” that engage the abs). The cardio is mostly higher-impact, but Chris usually offers a lower-impact option. The toning uses fitness classics like push-ups, lunges and bicycles.

The two toning programs are super-basic; the yoga workout combines flowing Vinyasas with static “holds.” Very friendly cuing (“I will help you through this”).
