Week 9 of the 12 Week Transform To Fit Workout Program! We are really moving along! Only a few weeks left! At this point I’d love for you to think back to week 1 and see how much you’ve progressed. You’re doing great and I love hearing your motivating stories and how you’re pushing through that soreness! Keep it going! I’m still right there with you, but just modifying as my back injury is still not healed, so I have to be most careful with the leg days and back days. But I’m always here cheering you guys on!

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!

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
