14 day Challenge

Day 1: Workout #1:  Full Body 8 minute AMRAP

Welcome to Day 1!  I hope you're excited about the next 14 days :)  You will be doing an 8 minute workout each day and following some healthy nutritional guidelines - to see just how much you can affect your body with a few minutes a day and come consistency!

For those of you who don't know what's going on - check out the previous blog about the 14 day challenge to get caught up :)  There is where you will find some starter nutritional guidance as well.  Below is your 1st workout (with beginner modifications in brackets) and video.  Set your timer/watch for 8 minutes - and push yourself hard!  Do as many rounds of the following 5 exercises (continuously) in the 8 minutes (AMRAP = as many rounds as possible):

5 X full burpees  (mod: step feet out and in to plank position, push up from knees)

5 X pushups  (mod: from knees)

20 X scissor lunges  (mod: step back lunges - no jump)

20 X crab toe touch

50 X skips  (mod: no rope - just mimick arms and jumping)

In the video you can see correct form for one full round of the 8 minute workout.  Feel free to share and post the number of rounds you complete below in the comments.  You will be doing this workout again in 3 days so you can try to improve and beat your score.  Let's set the tone for the next 2 weeks with an amazing workout today!
