Have you ever eyeballed your stairs at home and wondered if you could use them for a workout? Maybe you’ve even walked or jogged up and down them a few times – or tried a few jumps – but then you weren’t sure about safety, or you got bored of endless stair laps. Maybe your […]

M/TS – Water Aerobics

Cardio Water Aerobics Workout - fit2b.com

I taught “aquarobics” for several years, including my pregnancy and recovery with my son. I’d set him in his carseat on the pool deck, and the class participants would coo and croon to him whenever they went by. It was so fun to teach, but I admit I was a bit stumped to get repeated […]

Weightlifting 201 – C/TS

Weightlifting 201 - C/TS - Fit2B.com - TummySafe Weightlifting 201 Workout - fit2b.com

If this workout doesn’t turn your muscles to mush {in a good way} then you’re ready for heavier weights, because, as I say many times throughout the routine itself, “Oh. My. Goodness.” I practiced and practiced this workout to prepare to not be so sweaty and out of breath while filming, but nope! This pattern […]

M/TS – Basic Step Aerobics

Basic Step 1 - fit2b.com

Wait, wasn’t basic step aerobics only popular in the eighties along with big hair and thongs over spandex? Ha! Thankfully, it’s still a favorite among many minus the perpetual wedgie-wear, and it was Bethany’s first favorite in group fitness! Of course, she had to get some throw-back pants as a nod to the flashy style of […]

Wood Floor Workout - fit2b.com

The chief resistance your body fights every day is gravity: The pull that holds you against this Earth we live on. The surfaces we walk upon effect how we interact with gravity.

How long can you hold a pose? This workout encourages you to hold each position for at least 10 deep breaths.

C/TS – Tabata Ball Workout

Tabata Ball Workout - fit2b.com
