Three weeks to go and no doubt each of you are losing weight, and getting fitter, stronger and healthier as a result. So because of this it’s CHALLENGE WEEK.

Firstly you will need to pick a level:  Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced.

The aim is to get through the 5 rounds as quick as you can, making sure that you keep correct form throughout the entire work out. I would recommend using a stop watch to time yourself. This means that in 3 weeks time when the challenge ends, you can complete the same work out again, and try to better your time. I will be very interested to see how you all go, so please let me know!
