DO YOU GUYS TAKE MAGNESIUM?

We actually get this question a lot, and I’ve been a big fan of the mineral for over 2 years now (it was actually E who turned me onto it). There are many factors that can deplete your magnesium levels - one being birth control pills, which I take, so supplementing has been a big help.

I started taking the @livonlabs Magnesium L-Threonate at the end of December, and the change I’ve noticed has been substantial. The biggest difference has definitely had to do with my sleep. I used to wake up 1-2x throughout the night and I swear I’ve been sleeping like a log ... it’s rare for me to wake up in the middle of the night now! The best part is, this is nothing like taking a sleeping pill (OTC or prescribed) and feeling groggy the next day - magnesium will never give you that hangover feeling.

I have to say I’ve felt so much better over all, so if any of you are interested in taking magnesium, this is a brand I highly recommend. And as you guys have likely seen, we are big fans of their other supplements, too! xx #ssssweats #sponsored

WORKOUTS + MAKEUP: 2 things that DO NOT normally go together.

While we are BIG on being bare-faced for the majority of our workouts, sometimes we want the choice to wear a little makeup. If you caught our stories earlier this week - we recently got our hands on @floetic.beauty: cosmetics that are made for the gym. This line is totally breathable, they hold up in even the sweatiest of workouts (smudge-free!) and long lasting. We do have to shoot the majority of our content while working out (today being a good example!) so having the option to look glam without the slam (to our skin) is a major plus. We know many of you head from the office to class & beyond, so if you’re stuck using your everyday makeup that’s not meant to be worn while you work out … this is definitely an option we’d recco.

@Floetic.beauty formula contains energizing and antioxidant-rich ingredients, including vitamins C and E, green tea, and chamomile extract. It feels so light on, and the quality is amazing. PERK: the packaging is chic AF and highly durable (great to travel with or to throw in your gym bag) and we love that there’s an option to buy refills instead of purchasing a new bottle when you run out (saves $ and is more sustainable). Code ‘Sweats15’ for 15% off!  WOULD YOU GUYS TRY THIS? xx #ssssweats #sponsored

barre3

Our day is starting with a sweat at @Barre3WestVillage — we love this place, and while it’s technically a ’barre’ workout - it has a very alternative format to traditional barre (and we are HERE for it - review on the blog!). After class we’re going to be sitting down with @Rachlmansfield to film our first ever #SnackTime with a guest!!! We are so excited to film it & want your thoughts … what do you want to hear us chat with Rachel about?! Episode will be live in Feb. xx #sssssweats

SLT Tread

SLT TREAD - COMING IN HOT.🔥
—
The anticipation of @SLTNYC new hybrid workout was REAL … and we’re here to tell you all about it. 
This studio is located on 28th & Madison and immediately upon walking in we picked up a friendly + welcoming vibe. We know their other studios can be a little intimidating, but that wasn’t the case here. SLT Tread is also stocked with 3 showers, a changing room and products.

This 50 min class is a combo of 25 mins on the treadmill and 25 mins on the megaformer. You’ll choose the machine you start on when you book class, so you have a secured space in the room. The workout setup is halfsies (not quarters), so once you complete one machine, you’re done with it. We chose to start on the treadmill to get that out the way and it was definitely the right move - highly rec doing the same. As a bonus, if you end on the megaformer, you’ll get to stretch on the machine (instead of floor), which is probably the best part of the megaformer - it really allows you to dig deeper into the stretch!

The treadmill portion was HIIT style - so you go through several rounds of running with breaks in between, increasing the speed and intensity with each round. The megaformer was what you’d expect: abs, working one side of the body, then switching to the alternate side, ending with a further core burnout. The best way we can describe this combo is a toned down Mile High Run Club meets the megaformer. There was only one instructor giving directions to both the tread & tone sides of the room, counting everyone down and letting you know your next move - this was a little chaotic, but they managed it well!

This class was a total challenge and we have to say it flew by pretty quickly … we felt great (and v accomplished) after! Will you guys be checking out SLT Tread? Let us know your thoughts. xx #ssssweats

Creative Core

NEW STUDIO REVIEW ALERT 🚨: @CREATIVECORENYC & it’s a #10AndUnder!  Ok guys - this studio is both UNIQUE & CHALLENGING - a great place to check out for all our pilates babes who wanna amp it up a bit & try something different. Creative Core is tucked away in Chelsea on the main floor of an apartment building - it’s a super intimate space with only 4 reformers.

We took their 50 min ‘CORE CAMP’, and holy sh*t - this class was TOUGH. Our instructor explained that the pace/intensity of the class was similar to that of SLT (with super quick transitions and countdowns between moves) and a strong focus on form. And we mean STRONG focus. Since class was basically a semi-private, eyes & hands were basically on us the entire time … no space for slip ups. The class was a full body burnout with a major focus on core (we swear we felt our abs light up more than any class in a while). The class incorporated a mixture of machines: a reformer, chair, springboard (attached to the wall) & a pull up bar. We started on the reformer for mostly core + arms, then moved to the chair for glutes, quads & some action on the springboard + pull up bar, finishing with a final core burn and stretch. We both felt that this was one of the most challenging non-megaformer pilates classes we’ve taken. It was pretty advanced!

While this class is typically 9 credits on CP (which is a steal for the attention you’re getting), they offer limited time slots on CP & those few books up quickly. They also have amazing first time deals - like unlimited 2 weeks for $79 or a 2-for-1 deal for your first time.

Have you guys checked our Creative Core? xx #sssssweats
