So much 'fun'

If you find workouts boring and tiring, then this video will of Lisa will definitely show you how to enjoy your workout and make it more fun. Lisa, who is a 'pilates addict' recently posted a string of photos along with some videos where Lisa can be seen doing aerial exercises with a silky sling-like purple hammock. "I nipped this phrase from the #SaulBellow documentary : ‘Be the Columbus of the near at hand’ and while the capacious minded novelist may have disdained me for comflating his prose with pilates, well, why not bring a touch of the poetic declarative into this constant process of discovery. THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN," wrote Lisa as she gave a glimpse into her fun aerial workout session.

Best way to end the week 

From sweating it out with heavy equipments to happily hanging in hammocks and flexing out while doing floor workouts, Lisa loves performing all forms of pilates and does it all with so much perfection. Last year, the actor posted a video from her workout session, where she can be seen doing some floor exercises along with one of her pilates trainers. Calling it a 'yummy and delicious' workout session, while sharing the video, Lisa wrote, "Fletcher Pilates floor work. Yummy. Delicious way to end the week with my girl @shaaziaq @thepaddxb'."
