*This will probably become my favorite workout yet. I hope you guys like it as much as I do.Â
You know the drill. Grab a really cold bottle of water or a glass of water with ice. Cold water helps you burn more calories.
Put on the album. We have an updated playlist with the music you’ll need for those who don’t have the physical albums with them because they’re not home or something. Week 4 is Grouplove so get to where you need to be in the playlist.
Push yourself! You should feel sore in the morning. If you don’t, you’re either stretching VERY well or you’re not pushing yourself hard enough. Don’t hurt yourself, but do a little more than you think you’re capable of.
Stretch. You can dance if you want. This is a fun song.Â
Under Cover of Darkness:Â
Alternate between v-ups, reverse crunches, and russian twists.
Alternate between calf raises and donkey kicks.Â
Alternate between regular squats and squats where you stand on your tippie toes. They're hard so if you lose your balance easily, just hold on to your dresser or something sort of high up from the ground so you can keep your balance.
If you're hurting and need a break, take a stretch period. But by this week you should be getting stronger and not need as many rest periods. If you don't need a stretch, Alternate between push ups and planks. If you need to, you can do the "girl" push ups on your knees. To be honest, I do them most of the time because my arms aren't strong enough yet to lift my weight. They're flimsy little things. But before I started these workouts I couldn't even do one push up without feeling dizzy. Now I can do seven. Sure it's not a lot but it proves I'm getting stronger every week.Â
Do some yoga poses. This song is too slow to get super pumped too.
Alternate between regular bicycles and bicycle crunches
Alternate between v-ups, reverse crunches, and russian twists.
SURPRISE! :) Kickbox. Use your legs and your arms. You're now a champion kickboxer.
Life is simple in the moonlight:Â
Use it as your cool down song. Walk around or stretch. Whatever you think will cool you down but don't actually sit. Just do something.Â
Weekly things to remember: Take advantage of your rest periods. DRINK WATER. Even  if you hate it like I do. When you finish, remember you just did awesome but don’t reward yourself with food unless it’s something with a lot of protein and hardly any sugar or fat. You’re not a dog. Food is not a reward. If you’re doing the workout tip jar thing, put a dollar in your jar.Â
