Can you believe it’s been six weeks already?! It blows me away to think that this is the 6th and concluding post in our “Beach Body Now” series! I hope you’ve enjoyed these workouts as much as I have and that you’re feeling more confident to 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. Our concluding workouts are no different… just a lot more intense! Finish strong this week by getting these 2 workouts in 2-3 times each this week!
Bring on the summer!!
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 (90-100% effort); Comfortable pace for 50 seconds (75% 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
Strength
20 Thrusters
20 Sit-Ups
20 Side Lunges (to each side)
20 Push Ups
20 Squat Jumps
20 Triceps Dips
Repeated 3 Times
CONGRATULATIONS!!
