Behind the scenes

Hair & makeup prep for today’s @glowcanada photo shoot #bts #behindthescenes

This afternoon I was working with the super creative Joanna Kam from Glow, as well as makeup artist Patrick Ramé. They are both great to have on set, since they always have a good laugh and are very sweet. Here you see Patrick doing some serious contouring on our beautiful model. But you will just have to wait until the issue comes out to see it! I don't want to give everything away. Let me just say your arms will love this workout challenge. Stay tuned until September! 

Heck, why not read more: Here are three published workouts you don't have to wait to read.

Raise the barre

Looking to advance your at-home workout? Paulina Witkowski, a trainer and instructor at Barreworks in Toronto, offers up three challenging barre moves. But don’t be scared. These are low-impact moves that reallytarget the muscles through isolating and controlled movements. “They target those small, stabilizing muscles that aren’t usually targeted in other workouts,” says Witkowski, who’s been a dancer for 20 years. “It’s not a dance class – it’s a real workout!”

Here are three moves to add to your workout.
