WEEK 2: LET'S SEE YOU MOVE!

This week incorporates some higher levels of movement, adding in more difficult versions of the exercises performed last week. If at any point you feel that you can’t perform the exercise, just modify it to something you can do- if you can’t do a bounce squat, just do a regular body weight squat.

Once again, the goal is to push yourself, so try taking no more than 30 seconds in between exercises. This week will end with a stair workout- getting fit doesn’t mean you have to be stuck in a gym!
