Bridal Sculpt is a fun place to play with every different way that you can use your own body weight to tone and burn fat. Tonight we paired two of my favorite ways to feel the burn, Tabata Intervals, which work to take your heart rate way up and back down again to incinerate fat, and Barre, which uses tiny ballet-inspired movements to build long lean muscles.

It turns out it was a killer combination. Try it at home and see for yourself or come in and try your first class for free –sign up here.

Five minutes might seem like a lot of time to spend on each exercise in the Tabata Interval series, but keep in mind that Tabatas require 8 sets of :20 of all-out work and :10 of rest and I allowed for a minute of rest between each set.
