For the next 21 days (and beyond!) let’s take control of our heart health. Heart disease is the number one cause of death – but in so many cases, it is preventable! Move your body, every day, and your chances of having heart disease decrease drastically!
The 21 day Heart-Pumpin’ Challenge will help boost your heart rate, increase your cardiovascular fitness, turn you into a fat burning machine, AND even extend your life! All good things, right?
Here’s how the challenge works:
Each day, for 21 days, I’ll be posting a new cardio focused workout. These are all bodyweight exercises – no equipment is required. Anyone, anywhere can do them. And – there will be modifications and intensifications offered – so everyone can be successful, no matter what level.
Week ONE – We start off with workouts at moderate intensity.
~ 30 seconds of MODERATE intensity followed by 30 seconds of rest – per exercise.
~ 1-3 rounds, depending on fitness level.
Week TWO – We progress to intervals of high intensity.
~ 20 seconds of MODERATE intensity, then 20 seconds of HIGH intensity, followed by 20 seconds of rest – per exercise.
~ 2-4 rounds, depending on fitness level.
Week THREE – We blast to the finish line adding in short bursts of SUPER HIGH intensity!
~ 30 seconds MODERATE, right into 20 seconds HIGH, finish with 10 seconds of ‘GIVE IT ALL YOU’VE GOT’ intensity (total 60 seconds), followed by 30 seconds of rest – per exercise.
~ 3-5 rounds, depending on fitness level.
PROGRESSION! We’re starting slow, then building and progressing. We’re getting stronger in our cardio – blasting a million calories – and having so much fun!!
Take control of your heart health with us:
