CARDIO TRAINING
Cardio training burns calories during the activity and improves heart health. It is AMAZING for your mental wellbeing.
Workouts
Every 2 weeks you will be given 3 workouts. Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3. You will rotate these workouts, with days of rest. This keeps the program structured and routine for simplicity. We are focused on establishing new habits and getting the body moving.
Daily Challenge
All of our lives in this moment have different obligations and tomorrow we may be confronted with some new unexpected challenges. Despite our best intentions to exercise, it may not happen. The DAILY CHALLENGE is a short routine you can add in extra or in replace of the workout. It is completely optional.
