We’re into Week 3 of the Transform To Fit Workout Program! Hope you’re starting to get in a grove now! I’m also still getting sore from the workouts, so I know they’re working well! I’ve been dealing with a bit of a back injury myself, so I had to modify week 2 a bit. But even with modifications it was a great week. This week I’m hoping to get back into it full force!

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. You can also skip the cardio portion completely if you’re short on time as you are getting a cardio blast in each set!

CHECK INS

I’d love for you to check in to tell me your progress! Leave comments below on the week that you’re following, and connect with me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, tagging me @busybuthealthy and using the hashtag #T2FIT
