Hi Everyone!

Welcome to this week’s Workout Schedule! I have a great program planned for this week. It’s well rounded, and incorporates everything from LIIT (Low Impact Interval Training), HIIT (High Impact Interval Training), Yoga, Tabata, and Resistance Training.

That means, we will be getting in a fantastic week of workouts. This exercise program will challenge your body in multiple ways, so that you are always progressing, without getting bored. You will be getting stronger and healthier, while building more endurance and more confidence.

Each workout can be done once per day, or repeated up to 3X per day. Modify your schedule based on your personal workout needs. I aim to workout between 30-60 total minutes per day.

You will find each workout video below. I also included links to each workout, with the workout descriptions below. If you want to see the full workout breakdown and photo tutorial click on the links.

Day 1

Total Body LIIT (Low Impact Interval Training) Workout: This is a great total body exercise routine. You don’t need any equipment. Just grab a workout mat and follow along with the video.

Total Body HIIT: With a Focus on Core  AND Four-Minute Tabata Lower Body Workout. The first routine is focused on strengthening your core. You will work your midsection from every angle. The second routine takes only 4-minutes, but is a very intense lower body workout. If you “burn out” (hit max reps during an exercise) don’t worry! That means you are building strength and endurance. Aim for max reps.
