Week 5 & feelin’ ALIVE! 🙌☀️

I can’t believe we only have 2 weeks left of this Core Challenge! I’m so impressed your commitment & consistency this far in & I hope for you all to finish this challenge stronger than you started! 💪

For today’s workout, you have 3 superset circuits. A superset is when you alternate between two exercises for one combined set with no rest in between. You can rest after all reps of each exercise are completed. Personally, I prefer supersets because they make my workouts go by faster, they torch more calories & they are just more fun! 🤗

I have included exercise modifications/substitutions in each exercise description. This is shown after you hit “play” underneath each video demonstration. You can find the modification demonstration videos in the “WEEK 5 MODIFICATIONS” section, where all the workouts are shown. 

Let’s continue to work hard, be nice & get better together this week, Team! 👊

Good luck!

💛 Claire
