Cardio Core is back!  You know the drill—the workout is 40-ish minutes with 30 seconds of a cardio move, 30 seconds of a HIIT move, followed by an active core recovery move. As for equipment, you’ll need your mat, Beachbody Strength Slides, and Resistance Loops. If you’re struggling a bit with the new workouts during this phase, slow down and pace yourself. You’ve got plenty of time to master each workout and you can always hit pause!  You are in the driver's seat.  If this feels like it's getting too easy or you aren't sweating as much anymore, add a 3 lb weight to the cardio part. I promise that will spike your heart rate.  DO NOT USE HEAVY WEIGHTS on this. I don't care how strong you are, these are fast moves and it's cardio focused so give your limbs a break and don't get hurt.  

Time to check in.  Is everyone still drinking the same flavor of Shakeology or have you mixed it up? Why do you want to be healthy? Are you doing this for you; for your family; for your insurance (did you know some give you a discount for losing weight - look into it)? Our health and nutrition feeds all aspects of our life and give us the best possible days.  Energy and sleep are the stepping stones to everything we do and affect my mood 110%!
