Week 6 of the 12 Week Transform To Fit Workout Program! How did you find week 5? I don’t know about you, but last weeks leg workout was intense. My butt was sore for about 4 days….but ya know, the “good” sore. Each week I’m trying to focus a little more on different muscle groups so our bodies are always guessing!

We are officially half way! Keep the momentum going. The first half is always the most difficult. Now we’re in a groove and will push through the rest of the way.

OTHER NOTES

If this is your first time seeing the program, I recommend you pop over to Week 1 to read what its all about.

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 and show 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
