4 Latina Fitness Stars We Are Loving Right Now
Fitness is critical to feeling good and caring for yourself. Running after toddlers while stuck at home is not a walk in the park, and so it’s particularly critical for new moms like us to take small moments to move.
That might look like 15 minutes of a virtual Pilates mat class every other day or a daily Peloton ride with our #Pelatinos buddies.
Over the last year there has been an explosion in fitness classes – from Peloton to the Mirror to thousands of boutique fitness studios that are now offering classes online. If you want to work out at home you have a major variety of options.*
Alongside this explosion there are some incredible Latina instructors becoming famous, and making you sweat your way to having a better day.
Let’s take a look at some of our favorites:
Manuela Sanchez (@pilates_and_dancing)
Manuela is a triple threat: She’s a dancer, artist, and pilates instructor at Club Pilates in Brooklyn. She gives excellent tips on Pilates form on her Instagram page.
