Burn Fat Fast Workout

Standard
Hello!
Cydney is back with us again today (Can you believe it’s been another week already?) I need to take a minute and sing her praises. Not only did she run 2 miles this morning. Today she bumped up from doing Beginner reps, to Intermediate! She is improving by leaps and bounds!
Again, many people are intimidated by these workouts, but you can do it! Even if you can’t start with 10 reps work your way up to it! You will improve if you make the commitment and stick to it.
More is at stake here than fitting into your skinny jeans (although that is a great goal too!) I am talking about improving your life. Making changes to live a fit lifestyle will help keep you healthy to enjoy whatever it is you love. Maybe that’s your kids, grandkids, playing hockey, reading books, or any hobbies you have. Keeping yourself healthy will help you to do those things for the rest of your life. Diabetes rates are rising at alarming rates. A common symptom of diabetes is vision problems. So yes, even your ability to read is impacted by your health.
The good news is you’re here reading this! So maybe you already started your fitness bender, or maybe you are just about to embark on your journey. I hope you’re here to stay. Your life is worth it.

Hi Everyone,
Cydney joined us again for today’s workout. She has already improved since last week! Last week she did her Burpees from her knees, and this week she did the full pushup. I love seeing and hearing about improvements! It feels great to work hard, and know you are getting better.
Today’s workout includes intervals, and has plenty of cardio fat burn. I used my Gymboss interval timer to keep track of the sections of the workout that are timed, but you can use a stopwatch or oven timer. Weekends can be a tricky time for workouts/eating. Just be sure to stick to what you are doing, and make time for your fitness. If you stick to it you will get results so much faster!
Enjoy today’s workout. I am going to be posting links to some great and healthy recipes later today!
