We’re into Week 2 of the Transform To Fit Workout Program! I’ve been hearing some great feedback across social media with many of you saying you’ve been loving the workouts and they are a challenge. I love hearing from you, even if its a complaint that you are sore! I’m right there with you. The shoulder workout left me sore too so I knew it was a good one! Typically if you’re getting soreness its because your body isn’t adapted to it, so that’s a good thing!
If this is your first time seeing the program, I recommend you pop over to Week 1 to read what its all about.
OTHER NOTES
Any questions, please leave a comment at the bottom of this post, and I’ll answer them. But please understand this is not a custom workout, and I won’t be providing modifications.
If you’re dealing with an injury, best to chat with your doctor or therapist about your workout limitations.
If you’re short on time, or a beginner, I’d recommend doing each set 3 times instead of 4.
