Beach Body Workout

This past Saturday, we had the pleasure--or was it torture--of joining Francesca Merccariello of Pure NYC for an outdoor Beach Body Workout. While we've worked out with Francesca for years, it has been, um, awhile, since we have had time to fit exercise in our schedule.

Francesca put us through a regimen that involved lots of squats, lunges,

pushups

and some torture with a giant rubber band.

What we have always loved about Francesca's workout program is that you can do it anywhere--at home, on the beach or in your hotel room. And you don't even need sneakers!

Francesca imparted a word of cautionary advice about some of our favorite workout clothes. Apparently the new tech fibers that wick away sweat also trap odors, so it's important to use a serious detergent like Tide Plus Febreze Sport. Francesca swears she can smell the freshness on her clients at the gym!

JSG has a relationship with Tide.
