Katherine Greiner’s Make It Burn Workout + Playlist

I don’t know about you, but my winter gym routine is getting old fast.

Unlike summer when we can spend our days outdoors, winter turns into repetitive trips to the treadmill and weight room. Most of us don’t have someone telling us what to do, and so those workouts can end up getting a little monotonous.

Today, I have just the answer for you: NYC instructor Katherine Greiner was kind enough to offer up a fun workout routine and playlist for your next gym session! Katherine holds certifications in NASM, Pilates, TRX, Nutrition, SPX fitness, and Zumba, has trained privately at Tracy Anderson Method in the past, and today owns her own company KGBody. She also teaches at studios around Manhattan, such as The Movement, where I was able to hop into one of her Saturday morning dance cardio classes. It was fun, challenging, and the perfect way to switch up my workout. Since we can’t all check out the class, Katherine has brought you something similar that you can put into practice at the gym or even at home. All you need is yourself and a good set of speakers to get the playlist bumping:
