7-DAY WORKOUT CHALLENGE

Each daily workout will tone and challenge one specific body area! Try to push yourself as much as you can for each round. Remember to listen to your body and modify as needed; work on recognizing the difference between a “challenging” move versus “painful” move. Instructions and photo, plus video demos below. You got this!!

For each workout, we’ll be using one of the High intensity Interval Training – Tabata, which focuses on a specific pattern: 20 seconds of extremely hard work, with 10 seconds of rest in between.

What makes this work?

The idea behind tabata isn’t to just jog or do a plank for 20 seconds at a time; rather, you should be doing something that pushes you to the absolute limit for 20 seconds, and then rest for 10, and repeat. These short bursts of cardiovascular exercise improves your overall cardio health, oxygen levels, and core.

-ACTIVE REST DAY-

Why are active rest days important (source: PopSugar)?

A day off allows your muscles to recover, rebuild, and become stronger. But rest days don’t just mean sitting on the couch. To speed your recovery, and get your blood flowing to help feed your weary muscles, take yourself for a 20-minute stroll, and then give your muscles some TLC.

So go for a walk, try a yoga class, go for a bike ride or do some  light stretching. Stay active and keep moving.
