AKA B3 is Oriana’s Bootcamp, it’s a burnout class, a middle ground between HIIT and Pilates
How we got here
Ive had an active lifestyle for most of my life, starting soccer at 4 years old and playing through college. After graduation, no longer having a coach planning my training for me made me realize I had to come up with my own way to stay fit the way I was always used to, but that wouldn’t get boring.
I started by going to gyms, not having a single clue what I was doing, just watching and learning from anyone who inspired me, and eventually learning my way around weights and machines. Then came yoga and pilates, which taught me the importance of having core body strength.
Over the years i’ve taken bits and pieces from everything I have learned along the way. Endurance from many years of intense pre-season soccer conditioning (if you know, you know), strength from my love for weights, and balance and control from yoga/pilates. Now 7 years down the line, I get to create workouts that blend the elements I love most from all these practices to help others find their strength too.
Breaking down the bootcamp
My goal with B3 is to combine the intensity of HIIT classes with the core-strengthening benefits of pilates, using mainly body weight.
The class is broken down into 4 parts:
- A high intensity warm up
- Upper and lower body toning exercises
- Abs/core training
- Cool down and stretch
I love dancing and having fun while I workout, so you’ll definitely hear some switch ups. From old-school reggaeton to jersey mixes and everything in between. My friends clown me for still blasting songs from 2003 like they dropped yesterday, but I stand by my playlist :)!
30% Exercise, 70% Diet
You cant out-train a bad diet. Nutrition plays a huge role in your performance and recovery, so I always make sure to fuel up before class.
Simple carbs like fruit and toast give you energy, and protein in foods like greek yogurt and eggs help with muscle repair.
These are some of my go-to snacks you can have 30-60min before my B3 class:
- Plain non-fat greek yogurt with chia pudding and berries
- Rice cake with almond butter and blueberries
- Ezekiel toast with boiled eggs and cottage cheese
Nothing makes me happier than creating a space where my community can have fun, move their bodies, and look and feel better than ever.
