Can you believe it’s been six weeks already since we first started this workout program?! It blows me away to think that this is already the 6th post in our “Summer Slim Down” series! I hope you’ve enjoyed these workouts as much as I have and that you’re feeling more confident as you’ve hit the beach this summer.
This series is dedicated to getting you beach-ready; there’s a cardio workout to shred unwanted pounds and a strength workout to Tone and Tighten those key areas that will help you look amazing this summer. Week 6 is no different… we’re just kicking up the intensity even more! Finish strong this week by getting these 2 workouts in 2-3 times each this week!
Workout One
Cardio
I’m feeling generous here on week 6 – It’s official “Pick Your Cardio” Week! Choose a treadmill, the jog trail, bike, row machine, elliptical, etc and that’s your method for the day. Here’s the madness –
5 minute warm-up (walk or jog)
Sprint for 10 seconds (80-90% effort); Comfortable pace for 50 seconds (60-70% effort)
Sprint for 20 seconds; Comfortable pace for 40 seconds
Sprint for 30 seconds; Comfortable pace for 30 seconds
Sprint for 40 seconds; Comfortable pace for 20 seconds
Sprint for 50 seconds; Comfortable pace for 10 seconds
60-second recovery (slow jog pace – 50-60% effort)
Repeat 3 times and then….
Burpees.
100 of them.
(I don’t care how they get done; if it’s 2 sets of 50 all the way down to 10 sets of 10 – but after all that sprinting this is a perfect way to carve out some great muscle activity to include in your cardio)

Workout Two

20 Thrusters
20 Sit-Ups
20 Side Lunges (to each side)
20 Push Ups
20 Squat Jumps
20 Triceps Dips
