Healthy Fitness Challenge: Week 11, Day 3
Inspiration/Motivation: We all fall down but you must dust yourself off and get back up. It’s the work in the valleys that make you stronger so you can climb back up to the mountain top.
Warmup: Cardio 30-60 minutes: Kickboxing, spinning, bootcamp, cardio dance class; stretch-it-out.
Exercise of the Day: Jumping Jacks/Side-kick Combo. This is a high-intensity total body Kickboxing Combo that will boost your heart rate & help increase your calorie burn. This combo will also help tone your legs, abs & arms.
Exercise Tip: The types of exercises that you don’t like are usually the ones that are challenging for you and will give you great results. For example: usually people who are very "type A" may have a hard time slowing down enough to enjoy yoga, but their body really needs to stretch, lengthen and de-stress.
