Workout Of the Week - "Quick “No Excuses” Power Workout"

Hey, hey everyone!!! It’s your girl Jenn here, coming to you this week with a super quick, fast, and hard W.O.W. 

We all have those days where we feel as if there is no time for a workout. Excuses get made and there goes a day with out a workout. Well have no fear my fit freaks. This workout can be done anywhere and its only 16 minutes long. One piece of equipment, and an interval timer. Y'all know I love using intervals i.e HIIT formats because it’s super quick and allows you to not have time to think and just move right into the next exercise.  I need to stress this though, in order for this type of workout to be beneficial and successful, you must work at your highest capacity. You must feel like you're running out of breathe by the time you are already on your 2nd or 3rd exercise of the first circuit. Push past what you think you can and go! Go hard, keep good form and go fast. 

This workout is also perfect for anyone who is participating in our HEAT Meltdown Challenge. It kicks off today and is a 90 day transformation challenge. First place winner gets some amazing prizes.
