Welcome to WEEK 8 DAY 5 of our New Year Challenge! 💪🏼

Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind every workout during the next 8 weeks:

• Complete each exercise with as much weight as possible without compromising form or injury
• 15, 12, 10, 8 rep exercises = increase weight each set. Push the limit here and really challenge yourself. 
• Pay attention to the rest time in between each circuit or exercise. They have been added for a reason!
• If you can only complete less than the 6 workouts created each week, that’s FINE! Please just pick any amount you would like to complete that week.
