Hogansburg woman and her Plyo-Pilates workout featured in Oxygen Magazine’s 2012 Fat Loss Special

Plyometrics and Pilates are two opposites on the fitness spectrum. But Laura Tarbell’s trademark Plyo-Pilates workout which combines the two extremes scored her a place in Oxygen Magazine’s 2012 Fat Loss Special.

A STOTT-certified Pilates instructor and the owner of Tarbell Pilates in Hogansburg, Tarbell created the unique routine when she wanted a time-saving, fat-busting workout after having twin boys in 2009.

Plyometric-Hybrid-Pilates-Laura-Tarbel“I needed an interval workout that would elevate my heart rate to burn calories and then work my core at the same time,” she explains. The result is a body with lean muscle tone and a slim mid-section.

After programming the article, Oxygen’s fitness editor offered Laura the job of modeling the workout as well, a unique opportunity given to only a select few.

In the next few months, Oxygen will again be featuring Laura as a model, quoting her as a Pilates expert, and spotlighting her in their BLAB section.

The article is based on one of Laura’s latest DVDs, Plyo-Pilates, released in August 2011 with two other titles: Pilates for Runners and Ultimate Abs and Core.

An official release party for the DVDs is planned for Monday, March 5, at Heart to Heart Fitness Center located at 19 Eagle Drive in Hogansburg. Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy previews of each video, healthy refreshments, discounts on all Tarbell Pilates products and personal consultations.

For information on her schedule at Tarbell Pilates Studio or purchasing information for the three DVDs, visit www.TarbellPilates.com.

Piloxing

Piloxing, a combination of boxing and Pilates, has been touted by celebrities such as Heather Morris and Hilary Duff in Women’s Health, Us and In Touch Weekly.

Why it works: Though it seems like an unlikely pair, the two core-based disciplines come together in a high-tempo, interval workout that burns fat, sculpts long, lean muscles and enhances core strength and balance. Piloxing incorporates standing Pilates moves, boxing combinations and even a little dancing. Cynthia Lindenmeyer, above and right, a group fitness instructor with Gold’s Gym, Carlisle, liked the concept so much that she went to Atlanta to become a certified instructor. “It’s not just about fitness, Piloxing is about
