It’s time to #stopdropandbettyrock!
I’m super excited to rock out this Summer Body Strength and Cardio circuit with you today – in less than 20 minutes, we’ll sculpt and shred our bodies head to toe with explosive cardio combined with dynamic strength-building moves.
Remember, you don’t have to match me move for move in order to be doing it “right” – an “all or something” mentality will take you farther, faster than “all or nothing.”
All or something is how we stay consistent, how we keep showing up for ourselves, and ultimately, how we meet our goals!
I promise you it all matters, it all adds up, and it’s all good. 🙂
There’s no equipment needed for this workout so grab your mat, your water bottle, your “yes I can” attitude, and let’s go!
You’ve got this, Rockstar!
One-off workouts are great, but having a plan to follow is even better! Take a 30-day Challenge in Rock Your Life and have workouts like this formatted into a plan to follow!
