It’s Monday evening and I’m sitting in front on my laptop with a welcome bit of soreness in my glutes and inner thighs. The pain is well justified though – That Girl gave it to me. Now you’re probably thinking I’ve gone a little nuts, writing about some random girl, but no, That Girl is the workout brain-child of super talented sportswear designer Charli Cohen and fashion’s favourite personal trainer Christina Howells.
That Girl has been devised by the fitness duo especially for women who have a hectic schedule and need a workout they can do at home, in the office, in the gym or in the park via their laptop or mobile. I was told it’s the ultimate fitness fashion accessory for 2014 and I couldn’t wait to throw myself into my first workout!
I took to my living room on Saturday morning to try out the Notting Hill workout. One thing I would say is READ EVERYTHING first, as you need to understand the layout of the high intensity workout to get the most out of it. In all honesty I wasn’t actually expecting to sweat as much as I did – I had to take a break half way through to email Charli and let her know how sweaty I was! Sexy, yep.
The workout can be as hard as you make it and as with any high intensity interval training, it’s always great to push yourself to the max – avoiding injury obviously! There are some great tips next to each exercise too – ways to make it harder or easier, which shows the thought that has gone into the making of That Girl.
Other than a chair (or something similar), you won’t need any equipment, which is what makes these workouts so versatile. When (if!) the sunshine returns I can jog up to my local park and execute a That Girl workout and all I need is my own body. Perfect!
