Hi Everyone!

Are you ready for a brand new workout? I can’t believe that this month is passing by so quickly! I have really been enjoying filming and sharing new workouts with you.

Today’s workout is quick, only 16-minutes per round. You can do it once, or repeat it. Whatever you have the time and energy for. You don’t need any equipment, but you can amp up the intensity by adding a weighted vest, or some dumbbells to several of the moves. I found the workout challenging (especially the core section!) with no added resistance.

This workout routine will work your muscles from multiple angles. This means that we are recruiting and strengthening multiple muscle groups. Focus on using proper form for each exercise, and aim to get in as many reps as you can. If you hit your max, take a quick break and get back into it. Maxing out isn’t a bad thing. When you do that you will actually gain strength more quickly.

As I mention in the video I am just recovering from a sinus infection. It really knocked me for a loop, but when the weather changes and the temperatures drop my allergies go full force on me. I decided to take out the cardio segments of the workout, because I didn’t think my body was ready for it. It ended up being a great workout without the added cardio, but for those of you in total beast mode I have also posted a cardio option that you can add to this workout if you are so inclined.

I heard your comments, and I will be creating a program to build strength for the Side Plank.

Have fun with this week’s workouts! I love seeing your check-in posts and comments! Let me know how you feel and what you thought of the exercises and the schedule. I’d also love to hear which exercise you found the most challenging, and which one you liked the most. For my last workout I got a lot of great feedback on the Low Impact Burpee, and several people were struggling with the Side Plank Toe Tap.

I will be incorporating more exercises to add to improve strength for Side Planks.
