Quarantine Cuties: A musical workout with Daniela Rincon
Last week, In Full Color debuted its new skillshare and chat series, Quarantine Cuties!
The weekly IG Live show features women artists, entrepreneurs and hustlers sharing knowledge and skills. Each episode gives viewers a chance to support these women through #COVID19 or raise money for causes they support.
On April 23, we kicked things off with IFC alumna Daniela Rincon, whom fans will recognize from In Full Color 2019!
Daniela is a Mexican born and raised actress, self-appointed poet and coffee enthusiast better known to her pets and neighbors as the woman who often recites Hamilton from beginning to end. She studied to be an actress but was born to be an emotional mess. Yet, she tries. Her professional experience touches all corners of the realm, from dubbing baby voices, to making YouTube videos, to getting the role of her lifetime (Paraíso, 2014). She sings in the shower, she runs races and she will conquer the world. Just you wait! @ladanielarincon
As a fitness enthusiast, Daniela shared a musical workout! To work out at home, Daniela injects some fun into her exercises by dancing along to some of her favorite songs. For each tune, she assigns an exercise move for the verses, and has a dance break for the choruses! You can go at your own pace and even do i
Here's the 15-minute plan she used for #QTQTS
Song 1: "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" by Selena Quintanilla (3:07)
Area of Focus: Legs
Verses: Squats
Choruses: Dance break!
Song 2: "Suerte (Whenever, Wherever)" by Shakira (3:14)

Choruses: Dance break!

Song 4: "La Vida Es Un Carnaval" by Celia Cruz (4:38)

You can use this strategy to make any song a fun workout, and to stay fit and healthy at home during quarantine.
Daniela's episode was also a fundraiser for PPE, or personal protection equipment that helps healthcare workers on the frontlines battling COVID-19. She shared her brother's stories as a doctor in Mexico City fighting the ferocious virus, and made an impassioned plea to viewers to donate.
