Description: Intro to Week 2 + Mindset

Just like that, we are done with our first week and are moving on to week 2! We hope you’re finding the workouts both fun and challenging. 

This week we are going to focus on the idea of discomfort. Conor McGregor states “The more you seek the uncomfortable, the more you will become comfortable.” I would like the provide the disclaimer that there is a difference between pain and discomfort, so listen to your body.   

The more you seek discomfort, the more you will grow, making what was once uncomfortable, now comfortable. As you enter week 2, we challenge you to seek this discomfort as you push yourself in each workout!


Notes about the week ahead: 
1. We are adding running into the workouts! If you don’t have the space available to run, we have provided some alternate cardio options to still get the heart rate up! 

2. In the exercises below, you will find some options for burpee modifications. Feel free to use these as we continue to work in everyone’s favorite movement!

Nobody wants to miss out on everyone’s favorite movement! The exercises below are some options if doing a full burpee isn’t for you (yet).

- Stand shoulder width apart
- Place your hands on the floor in front of you
- Step your feet back one at a time, bringing your body into a plank
- Step feet back in and stand up

Stepping down ups

- Place your hands on the floor on front of you
- Hop back, hop forward
- Jump up 
- Repeat
