Today’s workout - Push me
My last workout of the year since I don’t think I’ll have time tomorrow. I didn’t feel the burn in a particular part of the body, I felt it in all my body!
15 minutes:
1) Kick Over & Knee Raise (I used 2 chairs as a dip station, gotta find 2 better chairs)
2) Side Lunge Jump
3) Reptile Push Up
4) Clean & Squat with Sandbag
5) High Knees (jump rope)
You can watch the complete workout here.
PS: I love Zuzana’s outfit!
