“This workout will improve every aspect of your fitness,” she tells the mag. “The results I’ve seen with Bodyshred have been far superior to any program that I’ve ever created.”
Her trademark “Bodyshred” routine combines movements from mixed martial arts, Pilates, gymnastics and yoga to create a high-intensity, fat-burning workout.
And while the term “high-intensity” may scare some people, Michaels says that it shouldn’t.
“Everyone can do a high-intensity workout, because what it means is simply going atyourpersonal fitness peak, whatever level that is,” explains the star trainer.
