All about PHASE 1 WORKOUT 1

Phase 1 Workout 1.

All the workouts are broken into 4 circuit that you run through TWO times each. You only do the cardio ONCE per circuit. Each DVD has a short warm up and cool down. You MUST do both. Never skip out on these, they are important!! Here is DVD 1 broken down.

“Workout 1 (weights)- Start off with basic moves that target the front of the body muscles liked chest, shoulders, arms, quads, and core. This workout is about building balance and core strength in order to burn calories and prep your body for the upcoming workouts. Your body and light weights provide the resistance. Low impact cardio bursts make this a non-stop fat burner.”-Jillian Michaels
