WEEK 7-8
MOVE YOUR BODY
For the next 14 days we will focus on your physical exercise program. As stated from the beginning of this challenge, you should be exercising at least 3 days per week already. If you are new to exercising this will be a great time to start a workout routine! If you are my client, we will use this time to make changes to your existing program. As always feel free to ask for suggestions beyond what you see here!
