Jumping Jacks - Level 3
Triceps Dips - Level 3

I really hope that this challenged you all b/c I know that it did for me. As we speak - my wife is making a recipe out of the Biggest Loser cookbook and it smells delicious. I wish that I had some awesome words to add to this post but I just can't think of anything; I just feel so exhausted tired from the workout that I should probably give my brain a rest for a minute or two.

For those of you that are doing these workouts with me, do not get overwhelmed with the workouts but keep with it. You can do this! Thanks so much for doing this with me.

30 Minutes Cardio: This can take place any time throughout the day and should consist of an intensity level that can promote and create weight loss. I do my cardio immediately before my workout – the workout becomes much harder. I have added a couple more exercises on today’s workout. I want to make sure that everyone is challenged. Do your best to complete the entire workout. If you have no trouble completing the workout, consider upping the level that you are working at.
