6-Month Home Workout Challenge: Week 11 #BFBodyFit

Please follow and like us:

Welcome to #BFBodyFit Week 11. This week we have 6-workouts and one rest day on the agenda. Get out your calendar and plan your workouts for the week/ Check them off through the week as you complete them.

Treat your workouts as you would any other appointment on your calendar. Show up and get them done.

We are more than half way through Month 3 of this challenge. Your consistency has been great, and you are probably noticing improved strength, endurance, and changes to your overall fitness. You are most likely also seeing positive changes in your mood, energy, and more lean muscle.

Take a moment to take stock of how you are feeling at this point. You are doing something fantastic for your health every time you show up for your workouts. At this point you have moved beyond “staying motivated” and built up a consistent workout routine. That deserves Kudos.

Keep up the good work, and let me know how you’re feeling!

Have fun this week!
