For this first Thursday the day begins with Lululemon Athletica’s Running 101 at 7 a.m followed by a yoga session with Ishta Yoga at 8 a.m. Then there's a full body aerobic workout at 9 a.m with Brooklyn Bridge Bootcamp.

The kids are also included with a 10 a.m. Mommy and Me Yoga session presented by Yoga Stars. Midday, the young ones can groove to a set by DJ Fire Traxx and Emcee Mr Marc.
