Core and arm strength while increasing flexibility and overall balance.

TRACY'S TA VA WORKOUT TIPS:

1) Take full advantage of the summer heat and turn off your air conditioning during your workout. Working out in heat and humidity is healthy for your muscles, joints and engagement.

2) Always remember not to judge yourself or others during your workout. Your emotional self is going to try and get you out of your workout every chance it can get until you work up the self-confidence to actually enjoy the workout. Start slow but show up each day to learn and get better so you can execute a full workout sooner rather than later.

3) Remember that your results are the truth of what you put into your workout, so make each workout a performance. Bring as much energy and emotion to the table as you can. When you look at pro athletes or performers, they are absorbing the adrenaline of hundreds of thousands of fans. You need to be your own physical rock star.

Bonus: Tracy's Tips to Maximize Your Workout Burn

1) Take advantage of summer's farm fresh fruits and vegetables. This is the time to get your palate back to nature so that you can make healthy choices all year. Start with fruits first. They digest faster than anything!

2) Buy organic if you can.

3) It's great to have a healthy salad with lean proteins ready to enjoy after your workout. Your body likes to be moved, nourished and rested. The more regular you are with that practice the more your body trusts it's being looked after and it becomes balanced itself.

4) Stay away from sugary drinks during your workout.
