Intermediate Workouts

 

F
ollowing are workouts that incorporate all the movements that we have learned thus far! Follow the same guidelines as outlined in the two-week beginner’s workout program by simply replacing day 1 and day 3 with one of the workout options listed below. The key is to keep your workouts as varied as possible. Remember, the majority of these movements are full-body movements that focus on core strength and overall fitness, strength, and agility, and keeping it varied will give you the most optimal results in the shortest amount of time. Please feel free to create your own workouts, and remember, often less is more. The goal is to not overwork your body, but rather to find a good balance of intensity, rest, and normal activity.
