How are the workouts coming along this week? Good news, there are still 4 days left in the week to get moving :). Our weekly workout plan is listed below!!
This week we have a boxing inspired workout to add variety to your program! Punching is a great way to get your heart rate up which increases your cardiovascular endurance while melting away calories. This "work" portion of this workout is 20 minutes long if you complete 2 rounds or 30 if you complete 30 rounds. If you are ready to increase your workloads this week, try 3 rounds!! If you are new to exercise, do 1 round.
Complete this workout 3 times this week (on non-consecutive days). You may be a little bit source from the boxing moves so do some light cardio or yoga 2 other days this week.
