Favorite Lagree Exercise: Some of my favorites are Spider Kicks, Giant Inchworm and Kneeling Row!
Why I Lagree: Lagree nourishes the mind, body, and soul. Prioritizing oneself can be a challenge, often with the hardest step being the decision to show up. While maintaining exercise motivation can be tough, Lagree offers a unique formula that keeps you consistently inspired and coming back for more!!!
You’ll Always Hearing Me Say This In Class: “Drop it low, and bring it up slow” during squats and lunges 🙂
Fun fact: I love special FX Makeup and breakdancing!
