It’s the first of March
and I am amped beyond belief to see some serious results this month! You all know what the end of this month is….Wrestlemania! Let’s all show up feeling and looking amazing for the big day!
My personal goal is to help you lean up as much as possible in the shortest amount of time and to get your fitness level impressively improved by the time our talented superstars exit the curtain at Wrestlemania!
So, are you up for a challenge?! Let’s do it!!
This workout is intended to be done as quickly as possible with the best possible form! It is a workout that is to be completed 3-4 times per week! I recommend you take every other day to rest the muscles and make it a cardio day!
- Each exercise is to be performed for 45 seconds followed by a 15 second rest period before moving on to the next exercise.
- For beginners, complete each exercise once without using resistance (weights).
- Bring it up a notch by completing the workout routine twice!
- For you Type A workout junkies, hit this workout 3 times through.B
- Beginners, do not need weights but do add weights wherever it is safely possible and you feel that your body is ready. Add dumbells or get creative by using bags of sand loaded into a backpack or gallon jugs filled with sand.
- At any level ankle and wrist weights can be added to bump it up a notch!!
