Welcome to week 2! It’s time to turn up your lower body workout by incorporating some new movements. If you’ve been performing 3 sets of our super set workout, try push to 4 sets of each super set.

This upper body workout consists of 2 circuits. The exercises are sequenced in such a manner to incorporate strength training with bursts of cardiovascular moves. This helps elevate your heart rate, improving fitness levels and boosting fat burning potential.

With this leg workout, you’ll combine strength training moves with bursts of cardio. The assortment of cardio intervals increases effectiveness and packs in more fun to your workout – in less time!

Add in some cardio for 20-40 minutes, 3-4 days a week if you can. Depending on your individual goal; for fat loss aim for closer to 40 minutes during cardio sessions. For general health and endurance, three days a week at 20 minutes will be sufficient. You can incorporate these after or between your workout days as it suits your schedule.

“It’s no secret that I love to be outdoors and I enjoy taking my fitness outside,” Exercising and getting your heart rate up does not mean that you have to be stuck for hours on the treadmill. Having ‘fun with fitness” is anything that gets you outside of your comfort zone while being active. It can be a hike, a jog outside or hitting the biking routes
