week five – beginner
HOW IT WORKS
Every week, you’ll receive 3 strength training workouts and 2 cardio workouts.
These should be completed on opposing days (in other words, one assigned workout per day), but if you are crunched for time, you can double up a strength training workout with the low-intensity cardio workout – just make sure you complete the cardio workout second.
We do not recommend completing the high-intensity cardio workout on the same day as another workout.
