This combo of yoga, Pilates, and tai chi exercises will get you strong, sculpted, and totally revitalized -- plus give you an invigorating energy boost!

Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi Elements

Sometimes the quietest exercises can be the most invigorating. That's the case with this energy-boosting routine, which brings together elements of yoga, Pilates, and tai chi.

"Yoga is about stability, Pilates focuses on mobility and stability, and tai chi is all about mobility," says Lawrence Biscontini, group fitness manager for the Golden Door Spa at Wyndham El Conquistador in Puerto Rico, who designed our program. "Moving from one discipline to the next circulates the energy throughout your body, so you're refreshed by the end." You'll also feel pretty darn strong -- these moves are a killer way to sculpt your arms, abs, legs, and butt, using just your body weight for resistance.

Do each circuit three times through, breathing deeply and evenly throughout the workout.

The demonstrations for the tai chi are off a little as they show locked joints, and tai chi emphasizes "soft" joints and do not overextend the arms, keeping the shoulders down. But, the series as a whole looks good combining tai chi, yoga and pilates.
