This 60-minute workout challenges all your major muscle groups by using the best weight-room exercises like squats, presses, lifts and curls. Great music, awesome instructors and your choice of weight inspire you to get the results you came for  and fast! <br /><br /> 2. <a href='http://newsletter.thirtysevendegrees.co.uk/tracking.asp?ID=208' target='_blank'>SPIN</a> indoor group cycling utilizes the large muscle groups of the legs. Whenever larger muscle groups are worked, more calories are burned. Cycling increases energy expenditure through the very vigorous cardiovascular workout it provides. It is more intense than stationary cycling due to the constant movements in and out of the saddle. The ability to add resistance increases the intensity and strengthens the lower body. <br /><br /> 3. <a href='http://newsletter.thirtysevendegrees.co.uk/tracking.asp?ID=208' target='_blank'>PILATES</a> A body-conditioning technique designed to stretch, strengthen and balance the body. Pilates targets the deep postural muscles within the body through a series of exercises aimed at building muscle strength and rebalancing the body. Excellent for improving posture, strength and flexibility and aligning the body correctly, pilates also teaches coordination, concentration and control of the body. <br /><br /> 4.
