Sweat, Then Sip: Try This ModelFIT Workout + Juice Combo At Home

this month, in honor of our Guest Editor, model Lily Aldridge, (who’s been known to visit this studio) we’re sharing wellness mini-sessions from Justin Gelband, the co-founder of modelFIT. This NYC studio has both top models and fitness fanatics sculpting and sweating their way to runway-worthy bodies. Along with co-founder and nutritionist Vanessa Packer (check out her lifestyle site bonberi!), Justin has turned modelFIT into a premier East Coast studio top bodies are flocking to for unique, individualized health programs.

The studio has five different fitness class formats. Last week, we shared Justin’s two-step abs exercise (that requires absolutely zero crunches!) based on the Sculpting class. Today, we’re breaking down a movement from modelFIT Dance Cardio that studio fanatics are obsessed with. Don’t be fooled by how simple this move is! Learn the move, get sweating, then cool down with this supermodel-worthy juice from Vanessa…
