The total body workout uses the best of yoga, Pilates and cardio to achieve maximum fat-burning results.

The 45-minute workout was created by amateur drummers Kirsten Potenza and Cristina Pereenboom.

"We were sitting over our drum set one day without a seat and we felt how the repetition of our arms hitting the drums was off-setting our body -- and that was sort of a light bulb moment," Potenza said.

Participants use drumsticks to beat at the air and floor as they squat, jump and sweat their way to a trimmer body.

SoCal residents can now find a class near them at Pound Rockout Workout and can follow the program on Facebook.
