Things are really starting to heat up!
Welcome to week four of our “Summer Slim Down” series! This workout series is dedicated to four things – the sun, the water, the sand, and looking amazing while doing the other three! Each week in the series contains two workouts – cardio to shed unwanted pounds and strength training to Tone and Tighten. We’ve reached the halfway mark already; can’t believe it’s been 4 weeks! I hope you’ve noticed some improvements as you’ve been doing these workout so far. Still plenty of time left this summer to make it happen!
Presented below are two workouts – one for cardio and another for strength. Get each of them in 2-3 times this week (4-6 days total) alternating days each time. You totally got this!
