Week Two's Weekend Workout

Hope you guys are feeling stronger and nicely stretched out after the workout and power yoga on Thursday night. It is great to see each of you pushing yourselves and enjoying those burpees :)

Now for your weekend workout. I want you to repeat the workout from Week One but with a few modifications.

For the warmup - for those that walked for the first 5 minutes, let's kick it up to a light jog

For the interval training - see if you can push yourself just a little harder in the 1 min. fast intervals - you only have to do them 4Xs :)

For the strength supersets
- if you only repeated the superset 2Xs, I want you to make sure you do it 3Xs in total
- for those of you who did it 3Xs last week, I want you to try and move through the exercises as fast as you can, with as little breaks between exercises as possible with keeping good form

And as always - STRETCH!

Once you do your workout, post your comment below, saying that you did it & how it felt.

NEXT WEEK: It's Week 3! Our focus will be on Core & Stability - so make sure you bring your Stability Ball to Thursday's workout.

Have a great weekend!
