As we move into the end of April this week, things are really starting to heat up out there! The days are getting longer, the sun is getting warmer, and I can practically hear the beach calling my name! If you’re anything like me, you also want to feel a fair amount of pride when you do go to the beach. That’s exactly where this workout series comes in! Is your body “beach ready” for the season?
Welcome to week five of our six week “Beach Body Now” series! As we come into the homestretch we are going to take things to the next level with these workouts. In this series you get one day of amazing cardio to lose excess pounds and trim those areas that may need a little trimming. You also get one strength-training routine to firm and tighten those key areas that will surely get you noticed this year on the beach!
Below are two workouts – cardio (day one) and strength (day two). Alternate between days for three cycles – 6 workouts total.
