FIT IN 15 HOME WORKOUT VIDEO SERIES
I am putting a lot of effort into making a new series of 15 minute Home Workout Videos called "Fit In 15."  They are perfect to use when you have a busy schedule and/or want to cross train for another sport.   Please subscribe to my YouTube channel and look for the newest Fit In 15 videos to be posted.  To see the latest Fit In 15, watch the video below.

This week's featured Fit In 15 Workouts:

Extra Credit:  Do one of these Fit in 15 workouts.  While you are working out, keep track of the # of reps you do for each of the exercises.  Afterwards, do a one page write up explaining the following:
What were the names of the exercises?
How many reps did you do each round for the exercises?
What Level did you choose (1, 2 or 3)?
Where did you do the workout?  Living room, bedroom, garage, park, etc.?
Short paragraph explaining how the workout was for you?  difficulty, hardest exercise, easiest exercise, if you modified and why, etc.?

Note:  If you have a Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and/or Instagram account, please forward these links to friends and family.  I want to get these videos out there.
