Workout Wednesday - Challenge Accepted !

Hi Everyone!

We hope you enjoyed the tunes that were selected yesterday!

Today, we are thinking everyone should take this opportunity to do something different that they may not want to do because it is challenging even though it is completely possible to do! We are sure that the feeling of accomplishment and success will bring much more joy than the discomfort  (we don't mean pain here) you may feel during the workout. This positive feeling we hope will get you through the rest of the work week!

Here is a workout that was tested out yesterday. Make adjustments where you need to - it is your workout, make it your own! If you are sad there isn't a specific exercise, for example, squat jumps, add them in or swap them for something else. But we ask you to think about doing something you may not like to do as much because it is harder for you than other exercises to really push yourself through and find the motivation deep within you that will get you through the work!

Try it out and let us know how you enjoyed it! Remember change the number or rounds or time intervals to fit your fitness level and match how your body is feeling today. We need to remind ourselves to listen to our bodies. Have fun with it and see yourself succeed!

4 Rounds (20 sec on/ 10 sec rest)
Pull ups (assisted  if needed)

D & K
