One of my most popular workout videos an 8 minute yogalates workout and I thought because I hadn't done a yogalates workout in a while it was time for another. In this 10- minute yogalates workout for arms and abs I've included calisthenics, and pilates exercises, with traditional yoga moves like downward-facing dog, and crescent pose. It's a challenge for the arms, core and balance too. Plus you may find it bumps the heart rate. Don't be fooled by the slow start, it's …
