SHAPE Bikini Body Tour May 14, 2010

SHAPE®, the #1 women’s active lifestyle magazine, is excited to announce its second annual “Bikini Body Tour.” SHAPE will hit the sexiest beaches with 20 exhilarating fitness classes, summer fashion shows, interactive beauty cabanas, product-packed gift bags and so much more! The first (and hottest) stop on the tour is Miami, FL on Saturday, May 15. South Beachers will get their taste of SHAPE at Lummus Park at 10th Street and Ocean Drive from 10am-4pm.

“The Bikini Body Tour” is dedicated to helping women get bikini-ready with fun-filled fitness classes lead by Equinox® Group Fitness Instructors! The variety of heart-pumping routines range from cardio classes to full body conditioning and calorie burning dance instruction. Highlights include:

• Dolphins Cheerleader Workout: This spirited workout, inspired by the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders, targets muscles used to develop a sleek and toned cheerleader body.
• Muay Thai Kickboxing: Known as the “King of the Ring”, Muay Thai incorporates punches, kicks, elbows, and knees to facedown any beach bound opponent.
• Rio Extreme: This Brazilian-inspired interval workout uses cardio moves from capoeira, samba, and maracatu to get your amazing Ipanema beach body.
• Super Sexy ABS: Get your six-pack on with this non-stop abdominals class to sexify your midsection.

From SHAPE’s signature “S”-SHAPEd runway, Executive Style Director, Jacqui Stafford will host all-day fashion shows featuring the hottest looks for summer. Plus, all guests can enter to win a trip for two to Amansala Eco-Chic Resort in Tulum Mexico to take part in an exclusive Bikini Bootcamp program!
