Slim Gym
By Meirav Devash
Mikale Lichota, April Joy Varner, and Kate Schmidt don't need to dust off their sneakers -- all three exercise regularly -- but their routines were getting a little stale. To figure out how to add inspiration to perspiration, Allure called in the experts. Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp at Exhale Spa introduced the strength and flexibility moves known as Core Fusion to Lichota's twice-weekly runs.

Still required: willpower as steely as their newly sculpted muscles.

"Mastering the poses is mentally and physically challenging -- I'm blown away that only one hour of the Pilates movements, yoga ...
