Exercises

Before we start (HOW TO)

Here’s a pro tip: it’s best to do this in wizard mode. That way, you’ll see the rest periods in between exercises and have access to the timer.

All fours

First, get down on all fours. Each group will have you in a primary position to which each exercise is based on.
