Welcome to Week 4!! Before we get started, I have a few rules we need to address first. 1) If you ever feel like an exercise is painful to the point of injury immediately stop the exercise. Soreness Stop. Pain related to injury=Stop. 2) Work hard to see results! 3) If you don’t understand an exercise or you need some encouragement, contact me! I would love to help you! 4) Ask if a friend will do the workout challenge with you. Added Support and accountability can only help you reach your goals! 5) Improve your life by improving your health! Yay! Now, let’s get started! The workouts: Each workout will include both strength training and a form of cardio. Do the best you can. If you feel the workout is easy, up your intensity. If you feel the workout is too hard, take breaks when you need them and consider using less weight for your strength training exercises. Working out should ALWAYS be challenging. If you need more of a challenge, contact me! I’d be glad to increase your intensity! DISCLAIMER Please consult your physician before beginning this or any exercise program.
