"Thing I expected from this workout: to come out sweaty. (Check.) Thing I did not expect from this workout: to run into Alexander Wang at the first-floor Juice Generation on the way out while dripping sweat. (Also check.)\nPinterestFacebookThe Workout: Yoga after a bender on all of those illegal drugs you were warned about in health class.\nI thought I knew my warrior poses and Utkatasana like my own name&amp;#8212;but deep EXtreme had me rethinking that, and fast. The Equinox workout mixed up cardio, yoga-esque poses and strength training (we&amp;#39;re talking a lot of squats and planks here, gang) in intervals for bursts of rest and intensity. Among the movements were swinging and scooping arm-motions, which were totally new to me, and ended up loving so much that I really let myself go and get into them. This workout was hard, but the kind of hard where it hurts-so-good, not where you&amp;#39;re designing your own casket in your head. And, for the first time ever, I actually understood why breath control in sync with certain movements is so important. I left feeling both proud of and surprised at what my body proved it could do over the course of an hour.\n*Intensity Factor: 7/10.*Deep EXtreme was the only seriously intense workout I could foresee myself doing multiple times a week. I&amp;#39;m not entirely sure if the tribal swingy moments actually toned me as much as they made me look insane, but my heart rate stayed up so consistently that it didn&amp;#39;t matter.\nSo, would you get EXtreme with me? Have you?\nP.S. Curious about a workout you&amp;#39;ve seen somewhere? Leave suggestions in the comments, and I&amp;#39;ll try to find a way to give &amp;#39;em a shot!\nMore craziness you might have missed:\nDrenched\nTruePilates\nPure Barre\nPhoto Courtesy of Equinox"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
