Healthy Fitness Challenge: Week 11, Day 4
Inspiration/Motivation: You already have everything within you to be successful, you just have to reach inside and pull it out.
Warmup: Back, bis, and thighs (interval or circuit format to keep your heart rate elevated); core; stretch-it-out.
Exercise of the Day: Lunge and bicep curls—this is a great exercise to tone the legs, biceps and abs.
