The NikkiFitness “Slimnastics” Workout is an athletic routine that gets you ripped in a radical new way: A yoga-based sun saluting warm-up readies the body but keep your sneakers on- you are going to need them! Slim and tone your legs while melting away fat and cellulite with gymnastic/cheerleading inspired explosive plyometric cardio drills like toe touches, spring squats, jump tucks and jumping lunge kicks. Alternate the intense cardio intervals with upper body and core-cutting balance moves from gymnastics and yoga with poses like forearm stands, eight angle (astavakrasana), and firefly (titibasana). Finished off in a yoga-based stretch and cool down for the mind and body.

This can be Done with No Equipment

The Slimnastics Workout

"Destination weddings create unique pressure to get in shape. There are DVDs designed to give you a beach body, and a wedding body, but nothing to get a beach wedding body! You don’t have time to stand still and do bicep curls when you could be multi-tasking!" - Nikki

Nikki became a certified fitness expert to get in shape for her destination wedding, and shot this DVD in Mexico, where she was married five years ago. She is now a columnist, trainer and fitness class instructor in Manhattan.

The NikkiBeachBride Destination Wedding Multi-Tasking Workout includes:

Combination upper and lower body moves that also work your core
Cardio intervals between sculpting moves that get rid of the fat over the muscles you tone
Multi-tasking moves that cut the workout from 60 minutes to 30 minutes! Bonus yoga and stretch! 

Dumbbell

Bridal Workout 

The Red Carpet Runway Workout targets the six areas that see the spotlight the most: back of the arms for sleeveless dresses, front of the arms for clutching your bag, calves for short skirts, upper back for backless attire, shoulders for halter dresses and abdominals for a tight tummy pose.

NikkiFitness uses her signature multitasking toning moves like "Reach for the Stars" and "Martini Shaker" to also lift your chest and tighten your butt, thighs and abs, while cutting workout time in half. The plyometric cardio intervals slim the areas over the newly sculpted muscles.

Nikki also provides her posing tips and a quick warm-up and stretch. To get you in the mood for your Red Carpet Party, you have the option to choose a different playlist every time you work out.

If you want to really work your entire body while your mind gets a mini-vacation, gazing at a Caribbean beach, this is for you.

The Slimnastics Stability Ball workout with NikkiFitness provides a way to challenge your abs while working your arms, legs, chest, glutes, and back. The key is instability! A stability ball will put you off balance to add an extra level of core toning to each full-range-of-motion Slimnastics move. With a mat and free weights, you work biceps and abs, triceps with abs, booty with the belly, and so much more. Summer beach bodies are made in the winter, so this is the perfect way to start a resolution and get the beach body you crave, quick.

Walking Workout with Weights 

Nicole Glor of NikkiFitness, thought she had shot her last fitness video after having an emergency "C Section," but her baby had other ideas.

"He would probably prefer a whistle to a pacifier since he is my own little personal trainer."

The only moves that soothed her baby were big lunges and squats, so Nikki added baby biceps curls, patty-cake crunches, more to sculpt and slim 12 mommy muscle groups.

The video was shot in scenic Tulum, Mexico to give your mind a mini-vacation while your body gets a workout. There are also alternate moves for using weights instead of toning with the baby, and the option to chose your own music playlist !

All you need are your booties (sneakers) and the baby!


Baby Bootie Camp (postnatal)

The NikkiFitness Booty Camp  is a 30-minute multitasking toning and cardio interval workout that will sculpt your entire body and boost your metabolism while focusing on your glutes (the booty) with every move.

"Why stand still and do bicep curls, then put down your weights to do a new set of moves for your backside when you could do them both together and add in the abs? "Glor asks. "Multitasking cuts your workout time in half so you are more likely to fit in your fitness."

Interval training, interspersing cardiovascular aerobics moves between muscle sets, is known to boost metabolism, so she threw intervals in as well.

That's not all that is different. You won’t see a bunch of women jumping around in a studio to elevator music. The video has been shot in multiple scenic outdoor locations to keep exercising the mind. The NikkiFitness line of video give users the ability to set their own soundtracks every day. Bonus yoga and stretch at the end! 

Booty Camp

Shit around the world with no equipment so your body gets a workout while your mind gets a vacation. Bonus yoga and stretch at the end!
