Welcome to Week 19 of the #BFBodyFit 6-Month Workout Challenge.
Get out your calendar and mark down your workouts for this week. It feels great to cross them off your list and to easily see the hard work you are putting in.
You are doing an amazing job sticking with these workouts. By now, you are feeling stronger, have more cardiovascular endurance, and more energy. Hopefully you are noticing the difference in the way working out consistently makes you feel mentally.
We have some fun workouts on this week’s schedule. Let me know if you have a favorite!

If you want a higher intensity workout you can do High Knees, Jumping Jacks, Burpees, Jump Rope, Jump Squats, or another high intensity option for the 30-second cardio intervals.
