Day 15 of the 21 Day Fat Loss Challenge

Ok, this is the final week of the fat loss challenge. Pick the workouts that challenged you the most, and repeat them for your Weight Workout Intervals. There are also two additional routines you can choose from.  Now is not the time to lose steam.....it's only one more week! At the end of the program, i will post information on how to enter a maintenance eating program so that you do not regain the pounds that you have worked so hard to lose!

Remember, you can do these workouts with dumbbells, resistance bands, vegetable cans water bottles or bodyweight, whatever you have on hand!

Your third week schedule will look like this:
Day 1: Workout A
Day 2: Cardio 1
Day 3: Workout B
Day 4: Cardio 2
Day 5: Workout C
Day 6: Cardio 3
Day 7: 300 Challenge Workout

This week you can choose any routine from the A,B and C workouts, the Tabata workouts, or the 300 Challenge.

Go through the exercises in order without rest. Each circuit is 1 round.

Beginners perform 3 rounds, as quickly as possible (or 20 min.) whichever comes first. If squat jumps are too difficult, perform 30 reg. squats. Rest as needed.

Advanced perform 4 rounds, as quickly as possible (or 20 min.) whichever comes first.

Remember, if you aren’t a little uncomfortable, you aren’t working hard enough. However, if you feel dizzy or faint at any time, please STOP.
If you have extra energy and time, do a little steady state cardio for another 10-20 minutes.
