Tanilates

So last summer I saw a flyer for "Tanilates" classes in Central Park to "tan while you tone." I was burned. How did I not think of this?! With the cast of Jersey Shore and my favorite Jerseylicious making GTL (gym, tanning, laundry) a way of life, anything that combines any two of those things will obviously be the next It Thing. Guess now I'll have to settle for coming up with a way for Pilates and laundry to combine. Hmmm......perhaps LaundraMat Pilates? Fitness while you fluff? Yeah, that idea needs some work.
But "Tanilates" is going strong thanks to it's bronzed founder Ashley Winelander and I have to admit I love the idea of taking your mat out into the open air for (sunscreen protected) sun exposure. I think the beach is a great place to be inspired to work on your core-especially if you're like me and a trip to the beach can find you lazing about for hours on a towel with a drink in hand washing down a boardwalk hot dog and ice cream treat.

That's me doing some "tanilates."

So the point is Pilates can be done almost anywhere so there is really no excuse to not just drop and do your Hundreds in the park, at the beach, in the middle of the sidewalk in rush hour.......just don't forget your sunscreen. No matter how toned you are you will always look stupid with a sun burn.

This guy shows us the wrong way to feel the burn.
