I LOVE this class!
We begin with one arm raises (think kettle bell) squats.
Move to raise it up for a shoulder press.
Plie squats
Swing it like bat for your arms and back.
Quick cardio - jump rope or run the stairs.
Now repeat on the left side.
Enter tabata drills (twenty seconds on and ten seconds of rest - eight times)
Burpees
Another round of working with the heavy weight from before.
Tabata - jumping lunges
Cardio
Deadlifts
Lunges
Tabata - side to side squats with a resistance band.
Cardio
Deadlifts
Shoulder work with lunges
Cardio
Tabata - burpees and ab plank work.
DONE!
Granted, I may have missed an exercise here or there and messed up the order. But you get the gist.
What do I love about this class?
One, I used to do NOTHING for myself.
Two, I have lost weight and inches through this class.
Three, I can do more now in the class than before. I can't do it all, but that means I can always improve!
Four, I feel empowered and that I have done something good for my body and health.
