PHIIT Day 1
I am so excited for the next 30 days and the adventure we are going on together. You need only 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for the next 30 days to burn calories and fat, build sexy lean muscle, and get you in the fittest shape of your life with PHIIT!
Each day you will find two videos, one is the introduction to the lesson. Watch this carefully to be sure you are using proper form and technique for each exercise in the workout.
The second is your daily workout. Once you have the technique memorized, you will only need to watch the workout video for that day.
There are 5 videos in the program. The videos rotate throughout the month, so you will repeat the 5 videos throughout the month! You can check your calendar located under the second tab in the program to see which videos you are supposed to be doing on which days. Week Two kicks off with Day Two and rotates from there.
Repetition is crucial in both feeling and seeing results, as you are targeting specific areas of the body to maximize your results!
I encourage you to mix and match the levels of difficulty to challenge yourself and incorporate a new routine each week!
Set a schedule 5 days a week to devote these 10 minutes for yourself. No excuses! In 30 days you will be a more confident, fitter, better version of yourself.
As you start today, you will take a "Before" picture of yourself. This will be used to help you see your progress. We will do this on Day 1, Day 15, and Day 30 so that you can see the great progress you are making, and the changes to your body.
Envision yourself having the body you have always wanted! Now, let's get started!
