Workout of The Week

Whether you’re in a personal training session, group training class, or practicing on your own each workout should consist of the following:

1. Movement Based Warm-up
2. Skill Practice such as a Kettlebell timed set
3. Supporting exercises such as a faced-paced circuit or high intensity intervals
4. Cool Down and Stretches

Workouts should take no longer than 20-45 min. when it is all said and done. This will ensure you are training as efficiently as possible and not overtraining or lowering your intensity.
